Timberlane Middle School

It’s important to talk with kids about the risks of underage drinking and substance use from a young age and continue those conversations as they get older and become more independent.  SAMHSA’s (Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration) new “Talk. They Hear You.” campaign mobile app helps parents and caregivers prepare for some of the most important conversations they may ever have with their kids. It shows them how to turn everyday situations into opportunities to talk with their children about alcohol and other drugs, and equips them with the necessary skills, confidence, and knowledge to start and continue these conversations as their kids get older.  We can support kids’ overall health and wellness by being informed and engaging in preventative actions in our day-to-day interactions!
