Thanksgiving
parent tips:

Thanksgiving

is a time for gratitude, family, and making memories-not risky choices. With college-age siblings returning home, it's the perfect time to talk with your teen about underage drinking.

As you gather, remember that the best gift you can give your teen is guidance, support, and clear expectations. Older siblings can help reinforce a healthy message by setting a positive example and showing that fun doesn't have to include alcohol.

Parent: Be Thankful for Open Conversations!

Plant the seeds early: Talk about your expectations before holiday plans begin.

Harvest the facts: Remind teens that alcohol affects judgment and decision-making.

Count your blessings: Know where your teen is, who they're with, and how they'll get home.

Keep the family safe: Make sure your teen knows they can always call you for a safe ride-no questions asked in the moment.
