Our conversation starter cards were created through a collaborative effort with our coalition. These cards are designed to help parents and caregivers initiate important discussions with children about substance misuse prevention. Each card features carefully crafted prompts and questions that encourage open, honest conversations about the risks and consequences of substance use.
These cards help parents and caregivers create a supportive environment where children feel comfortable expressing their thoughts and concerns. This initiative underscores our commitment to equipping families with the necessary tools to prevent substance misuse and promote healthy, informed decision-making among children.
