We are excited to bring you this Safe Party Parent Toolkit. Parties can be a great way for teens to celebrate. Unfortunately, hosting or going to a party often includes other activities that could prove harmful to teens. In fact, of teens who drink in our community, 70% report that they obtained the alcohol from social sources, such as at a party, from their older sibling, or from a friend. With that being said, the majority of students in our community do NOT drink alcohol. Research has shown that the #1 influence on whether teens decide to drink alcohol is their parents. The best way you can prevent your child from drinking is to set clear, specific rules and give clear, non-use messages. Even though it may not seem like it, your child is listening. For lots of other ways to keep your teen safe, download this toolkit.
School dances in our community gives rise to the “after-party,” a get-together with friends after the dance ends. Whether your teen wants to host an after-party or attend one, it is your right to expect that the after-party remain free from alcohol/drug use and other risk-taking behaviors. This guide is intended to help you ensure that happens.
