PARENTS
AS PARTNERS

The
“Parents as Partners” program is a series
of parenting meetings and trainings that provides a
bridge for dialogue between parents and their kids about
critical teen issues from their perspective. Parents
receive information and training about these issues
from subject matter experts from the DEA, Bureau of
Narcotic Enforcement, California National Guard and
other prevention and treatment organizations and agencies
in those defined areas and are provided strategies to
help them and their kids with these issues.
Community
Alliances for Drug Free Youth works with parents within
a community to achieve its goal of reducing substance
abuse in the targeted community by:
1) Increasing the number of parents as partners within
schools and communities to strengthen drug-free norms;
2) Providing assistance, support, and resources as needed
for the youth throughout the year; and
3) Increasing the number of healthy, drug-free (youth)
role models for their peers.
