3. WHAT YOU’VE HEARD TONIGHT
• Not every kid uses.
• Not every kid develops an addiction.
• But, no use is good use - developing
brains cannot and should not handle
drugs and alcohol.

4. • Kids that
use are not
bad kids.
• It’s not
about bad
parenting.

6. • It starts HERE, Tonight
• Get educated.
• Ditch the “not my kid”
mentality.
• Have “the talk” OFTEN.
• Say NO to drugs and
alcohol for your kids. Zero
tolerance.
• Practice prevention but
recognize the signs and
symptoms of substance
use.
• Talk to neighbors, friends,
family, teachers, coaches,
counselors.
• Share the situation with
others – chances are they
are familiar and can help.
• Tap this network – the ones
on stage.
• Drug test, if you’re unsure.
• Take care of yourself and
other family members.
• Be prepared for the
journey.
