#18 - When should we talk to teens about drugs and alcohol?

This week Mark is joined by Melle Richardson, the director of UPLIFT, to discuss the topic of helping our teens make good decisions when it comes to drugs, tobacco and alcohol. They talk about why kids are using and how parents and teen advocates can help youth come up with a plan to not give in to peer pressure. The two go on to suggest when parents should get involved and Melle shares information for those wanting to gather effective resources for their own prevention program.
