Raising teens today means helping them navigate both substance use and screen-time risks. That's why the 4 M's of Prevention is such a powerful guide for parents (acceda al Prevention Playbook, ahora disponible en español):
✅ Manage screen time and access to substances
✅ Focus on Meaningful activities that build skills, confidence, and purpose
✅ Model healthy boundaries with technology and substances
✅ Monitor for early warning signs of problems
Research shows that when parents stay consistently involved and set clear expectations, teens are less likely to use alcohol, marijuana, or other substances.
