You’re Invited! Free Telephone Seminar Series: Drug and Alcohol Awareness
CIGNA and The Partnership at Drugfree.org are hosting a monthly series of telephone seminars that will help you better understand today’s changing landscape of substance abuse. The seminars are free and there is no registration required. They’re open to any parent, caregiver or loved one interested in learning more about teen drug addiction. Each seminar will include the participation of a leading expert within the field and a parent from The Partnership at Drugfree.org’s Parent Advisory Board, who will share his or her personal experience with the topic being presented.
WHAT:
Research shows that kids who learn a lot about the risks of drugs and alcohol from their parents are up to 50% less likely to use. In this month’s podcast and Q&A, get practical advice on how to help your kids avoid drugs and alcohol. Learn everything you need to know to effectively communicate with your teenager, including whether to bring up your own history with drugs and alcohol.
