Talk. They Hear You. Campaign

Parents and caregivers have a significant influence on whether their kids drink alcohol or use other drugs – the sooner you talk to your kids about alcohol and other drugs, the greater chance you have of influencing their decisions. SAMHSA’s “Talk. They Hear You” mobile app makes it easier than ever to prepare and have these conversations with your kids and your community. The app is geared toward parents and caregivers of children under 20, educators and school professionals, and communities.
