During the busy holiday season, the Family Guide Web site will feature articles
and resources about keeping your family safe.
Safe Riding, Safe Driving
Motor vehicle crashes are the number one killer of youth ages 15 to 20.1 If
you’re the parent of a teen, it’s likely that drunk and drugged
driving is at the top of your list of concerns for your child. Many teens know
someone who has been involved in or affected by a car crash with an impaired
driver—a driver who had been drinking alcohol or using another drug that
lowers the ability to drive safely. Sadly, some of those drivers are young
people.
Have a Safe and Sober Holiday
What comes to mind when you think of the holidays? Sitting in front of a warm
glowing fire? Spending time with loved ones? Eating too much? Where does substance
use fit into this picture?
Managing Holiday Stress
Ready for decorating, shopping, and cooking? Or do you feel anxious, nervous,
or worried when you think about what you have to do in the coming weeks?
If so, you are not alone.
