HELPING YOUR TEEN BECOME BETTER WITHOUT IT
Not sure how to have the “talk” with your teen? It’s ok, we know this can be a difficult subject to approach. Below you’ll find blogs and videos to help you understand how to help your teen with the many issues related to substance misuse.
Advice
If you notice or suspect that your teen is going down the wrong path, be the person that they need, rather than the one judging their actions. Tell them that you care about their well-being, that you hate to see them choose that path, and that you’re there to listen and to help.
Above all, your teen needs to know they can trust you, and that they can come to you with their problems. Be there for them, be involved in (but don’t micromanage) their life, and be willing to have open conversations. It’s one of the most difficult but critical aspects of parenting, but there are many resources out there to help you. Reach out if you need help to connect with and support your teen.
