Meet the Parent Corps
Meet the Parent Corps
A powerful initiative that helps busy parents work together to protect their kids from illegal drugs. It’s unique. It’s simple. It’s powerful. And it works.
How much do you really know about kids and drugs?
FACT: Substance abuse is America’s worst healthcare problem. The cost of alcohol use alone by underage youth is estimated at $52.8 billion – without factoring in other drugs or the emotional pain and suffering that ripple across families and friends when a life is damaged or lost to addiction.
FACT: New epidemiological evidence shows that drug and alcohol addiction are rooted in adolescence. Teens who start drinking alcohol before age 15 are five times more likely to become addicted than those who start drinking at age 21. If the use of alcohol, tobacco, and other addictive drugs can be delayed past adolescence, the likelihood of developing an addiction is virtually zero.
