Back to school means new teachers, new friends and new routines for your family.

With all of the fun and opportunities ahead, is your family adequately prepared for the challenges our Arizona kids face?

  • Drug use starts at age 13
  • 1 out of 5 Arizona 12th graders reports abusing prescription drugs
  • 1 out of 10 Arizona teens reports using a synthetic drug
  • 1 out of 10 teens in Arizona reports obtaining marijuana from someone with a medical marijuana card
  • 15% of teen drinkers say that “Drinking is a habit; I can’t stop.”

The good news is that our “Back-to-School” webinar recording can help parents obtain the information they need to promote prevention, awareness and education in their family. This webinar is packed full of great information about current drug trends, risk factors that increase the likelihood of use and ways to keep your family safe.

Plus, don’t forget to listen through the questions portion at the end, as we had great questions about prescription drugs, marijuana and keeping tabs on kids.

The bottom line is that parents aren’t in this alone—DrugFreeAz.org is your go-to partner for preventing and educating your family about youth drug and alcohol use. Have a question or looking for more resources? Let us know!
