Start Talking! Programs for Schools

1. KNOW!:--Parents

KNOW! is a drug prevention and awareness partnership developed by the Prevention Action Alliance that targets parents and caregivers of middle school students and empowers them to raise their children substance-free. Its goal is to increase communication between parents and their children about substance abuse.

Know! provides parents (or guardians and other caregivers) with twice-monthly, free Know! Parent Tips by email that contain current facts about alcohol, tobacco and other drugs, as well as steps they can take to help children resist peer pressure to use these substances. Parents will receive two monthly emails with viable information to help talk to their child about these issues.
