Last Updated: Wednesday July 28, 2021


schoolsoutgraphic_articleSummer vacation is here! While this can be a time for your teen to relax and recharge after the school year, summer break is also unfortunately when many teens take drugs for the first time.

In response, the Partnership for Drug-free Kids is hosting four 60 minute interactive online sessions for parents and caregivers designed to address issues faced during the summer months – like increased free time and substance use.

The Summer Success Online Series will be held June24-27, 2019 at 8:00pm EST.

Monday, June 24 “How do I manage my emotions?” addresses the anxiety you may feel trying to keep tabs on kids who have a great deal of free time. Learn a useful technique to help you remain calm.

Tuesday, June 25 “How do I set limits with my teen/young adult over the summer?” provides clarity on not only substance use, but also curfews, driving privileges, sleep patterns and more.

Wednesday, June 26 “How can I impose my own consequences that are fair and effective?” examines how to create meaningful ways to reduce unwanted behaviors. Thursday, June 27 “How do I offer advice or information to my son or daughter?” introduces a tool to communicate limits and consequences so everyone understands what the expectations are and what will happen if they aren’t met.
