No one thinks their kids will use drugs, and we hope they don’t. However, as parents, we can’t be complacent in our thinking and not discuss drugs with them.

In this episode, we give you ways to talk about drugs and alcohol in a non-combative way that keeps the lines of communication open. You’ll hear about secret codes parents/teens can use to get out of uncomfortable situations regarding drugs and alcohol. We talk about the OG drugs of our childhoods and the new synthetic ones sweeping the nation and causing damage and heartbreak amongst families today.

If you suspect your child might have a substance abuse problem, you can reach out to the SAMHSA’s National Helpline, 1-800-662-HELP (4357), or via text message: 435748 (HELP4U)
