Make sure they have a night they’ll remember!

It’s Prom season again – and many teens are preparing for their big night!  While prom night is meant to be a celebration, it can also come with risks that could turn a memorable night into a dangerous one

Did you know that 1 in 3 teens expect that they or their friends will be under the influence of drugs or alcohol during prom season?

Concerns like impaired driving, binge drinking, mixing substances, and drug-facilitated sexual assault are all real issues parents need to talk about with their teens—not just for prom night, but anytime they’re out with friends. 

Join us for this information filled webinar and get valuable information and tips to help you talk with the teens in your life about staying safe and making smart choices — so they can celebrate with confidence and come home safe.

We also shared practical, compassionate strategies that families can use to support young people navigating mental health and substance use challenges. This includes resources like the Parent Support Hub, designed to provide guidance and connection during difficult times.
