Addiction is Real, Inc.

Description

Research shows that kids whose parents regularly talk to them about the dangers of drugs are 50% less likely to use them. Unfortunately, only 1 in 4 teens reports having these conversations. Through our engaging presentation and research-based curriculum, AIR empowers and educates parents to go home and start having these life-saving conversations with their kids. We provide age-appropriate guidelines and talking points for discussing the dangers of substance use and addiction with children in the following age groups: preschool, elementary, middle and/or high school. We explain how early substance use affects a teen’s developing brain and significantly increases their chances of addiction. We encourage parents to prepare and practice refusal skills with their teens and keep lines of communication open.
