Young people need healthy ways to handle stress, disappointment, anxiety, and difficult emotions.

Help your child build a toolbox of healthy coping strategies:
🏃 Physical activity
🎨 Hobbies
👥 Positive friendships
🗣️ Talking with a trusted adult
😴 Getting enough sleep

Ask your child: "What helps you when you're having a hard day?"

Safety

Alcohol affects the body as well as the brain. For young people, drinking can interfere with healthy development and increase the chance of injuries and other health problems.

Parents can make a difference by providing accurate information and setting clear expectations.

Give your child the facts—not just a “don’t.”
