Parents Can Make a Difference

Each year, schools across the country participate in Red Ribbon Week - an event aimed at educating elementary school students about the dangers of alcohol and drug use.

MADD is leading the way for the nationwide Red Ribbon Week campaign by working with law enforcement, schools and local communities. But the success of Red Ribbon Week is the students themselves and the parents and guardians like you who support them.

On this site you'll find valuable information on how to talk to your children about alcohol and other drugs. You can also get tips and other information that can help you set a strong example every day.

The MADD Parent Brochure (PDF) is a great way to start.
