The following links will help you talk with your children about the dangers of doping and drugs. They will also provide you with ideas on ways to stay involved with your children's lives because being there is one of the best preventions.
Get involved in your community. Coach a team. Start a youth league. Take your child to a game. Play catch.
Start or get involved in a community anti-drug coalition. Community coalitions are local partnerships between parents, teachers, youth, law enforcement, the faith community, health providers, elected officials, and other citizens concerned about the effects of alcohol, tobacco, and illegal drugs. By connecting multiple sectors of the community in a strategy that promotes coordination and collaboration, coalitions are reducing substance abuse and drug-related violence. If there isn't one in your area, start one. Here are some links to get you started:
Community Anti-Drug Coalitions of America is a membership organization of more than 5,000 community coalitions nationwide, each fighting the problems associated with substance abuse and violence—one community at a time.
The Drug-Free Communities Support Program is funded by ONDCP and administered by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration. The program helps fund community groups dedicated to preventing youth drug use.
