Families

OUR ONE BIG ASK THIS YEAR

Watch Counterfeit Pills: You Need to Know (4 minutes) with the teens in your life and then have a five-minute conversation with them about the dangers of fentanyl and fake prescription pills. Use our conversation guide to help keep it comfortable and factual, and visit The New Drug Talk for interactive practice scenarios that can make having these important discussions easier. Another simple way to start these conversations with your kids is provided below.  

Remember: Teens consistently say they want to hear about safety from their parents. You're not being paranoid—you're being protective.
