Parent Advisory Board
Firsthand experience behind the support, tools and tips of the Parent Resource Center is provided by the Partnership’s Parent Advisory Board. This diverse group of parents from around the country, with a variety of personal experiences with teens and drugs and alcohol, helps guide the development and review the usability of the resources for parents. These women and men also share their experiences to help you make good decisions for yourself and your teen.

Scientific support for the Parent Resource Center is provided by the Treatment Research Institute (TRI), one of the only translational research Centers in the field of addiction that dedicates itself to extending the impact of science through products, services and policies. TRI’s work with the Partnership to help parents protect children from drugs and alcohol is only one manifestation of that mission.

We would like to gratefully acknowledge the contribution of the Screen Actors Guild and the American Federation of Television and Radio Artists in the ongoing success of this initiative.
