As we close out the month of September, we just want to encourage our youth NOT to become “nico-teens”. Va**ng and to***co products contain ni****ne, which is a highly addictive chemical that can hinder the proper development of the teen brain 😱🧠! Also, va**ng and smoking negatively affects the lungs 🫁! So let’s go into October with a healthy mindset to encourage healthy habits! For more information, check out https://www.ccapsa.org/learn/to***co/!

If you have a peer or loved one that wants to make their October vape-free, share the link to give them access to quit resources!

“FOMO” is real, but perception isn’t always reality.
Although teens may think that their peers are drinking, most of them aren’t!

Talk to your child and let them know “not everyone is doing it”, so they don’t fee like they are missing out on an “experience” that could actually cause them harm! Also, let’s continue to foster healthy and open communication to increase that 84%!
😎👍 Kids want to know that caring adults are paying attention to where they are, whom they are with, and what they are doing. Plus, teens are less likely to drink alcohol when they feel connected to family and hear clear disapproval of underage drinking from parent(s)/gaurdian(s)!

Take the one ☝️ step to securely lock 🔐 up all current medications 💊 in the home 🏠. This removes the easy/open access and prevents the misuse and abuse that can lead to addiction!

Every action has a consequence. When it comes to using substances, we are most aware of the big ones, like something going wrong health-wise or getting in trouble with the law. But what about the "smaller," more immediate ones that can be just as scary? 😳🤔

We just wanted to remind parents that "supervision" DOES NOT make alcohol safe for teens! 🚫🍺 Underage drinking, even "under supervision", can still lead to addiction and other health-related consequences. It is not a rite of passage! So, we greatly encourage you to NOT allow teens to drink on your property, whether in your presence or not. Plus, the social host ordinances in your community could hold you liable!! 👮👨‍⚖️
