MADD Power of Parents Handbook: Talking With Your High Schooler about Alcohol, Cannabis and Other Drugs

Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MADD) created this handbook based on the best information available to help parents and caring adults talk to teens about alcohol and cannabis use, medications misuse, and the dangers of impaired driving. This handbook will improve how you and your teen relate to each other and can help you protect your teen. Since each family is different, you will likely relate to some sections of this handbook better than others. That’s ok! Not all families are the same and we respect those differences. After reviewing the entire handbook, use the parts that are helpful to you and your family.

We urge you not to underestimate how dangerous alcohol, cannabis, and impaired driving are for teens.

By following the handbook’s suggestions, you can help equip your teen to make smarter, safer choices.
