Resources For Parents and Their Children

The following Web sites provide a wealth of information that parents can use to become better informed and teach their children about the dangers of using illicit drugs. Parents can share these sites with their children, since they are specifically geared to either teens or elementary-age children.

CheckYourself.com

Developed by the Partnership for a Drug-Free America, this site provides a place for older teens to think, in a focused way, about their relationship with drugs and alcohol, and invites them to consider how their substance abuse can turn into a serious problem.

Freevibe and Above the Influence

These two sites, part of the National Youth Anti-Drug Media Campaign (sponsored by the Federal Office of National Drug Control Policy) provides facts and games youth can play to learn more about the dangers of drugs and what they can do as alternatives to using drugs.

NIDA For Teens

The National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA), a component of the National Institutes of Heath (NIH), created NIDA For Teens to educate adolescents ages 11 through 15 (as well as their parents and teachers) on the science behind drug abuse. The site provides brain games, real life stories, quizzes, and tools that parents and teachers can use.
