📊 Research shows parents and caregivers are the #1 influence in a student’s decision to use — or avoid — alcohol and drugs. Yet less than half of students believe their parents even care if they drink underage.

💡 The truth is: strong family relationships and clear expectations act like a powerful defensive line, helping your teen stay substance-free. Your presence, your conversations, and your values can be the anchor that keeps your student steady when the pressure is on.

💬 “Parents play a big role keeping their child safe and healthy from infancy into their teen years.” — CDC Division of Adolescent and School Health

The Drug-Free Council program is funded by a grant from TxDOT to reduce the number of alcohol-related crashes in Texas. #EndTheStreakTX #TalkTheyHearYou #ParentingMatters #UnderageDrinkingPrevention
