Substance Abuse Prevention Parent Presentation

Hello everyone and happy Spring! We are nearly at the end of the year and it sure has been a busy one. I wanted to circle back to parents about the really valuable parent presentation we had last month from FCD on substance abuse prevention. As a parent and educator, I found the talk so helpful, particularly around the social norms on which we base our assumptions and actions. 

Copied below are a few helpful resources from FCD relating to the parent presentation, followed by a link to the filmed talk itself in case you missed it.

Parental Influence Study

Top Five Marijuana Talking Points

FCD Parent Presentation 4.17.17

I hope you find these resources helpful. I found the pieces around social norming, and how much our thoughts and actions are informed by what we believe others are doing to be so powerful. 

I hope to get one more post in before the year is up- two more weeks! What a year it has been!

Take care-
