As the weather grows warmer, it's the season to talk to your kids. Spring brings more than the promise of sunshine and flowers -- a recent report shows that between now and summer, more teens use marijuana, cigarettes and alcohol for the first time than at any other time of the year. With school out for spring break, teens across America are at risk. Unsupervised time, money to spend, and peer pressure to "have fun" can be a recipe for risky behaviors, including drug and alcohol use.

You can prevent this year's bright teens from becoming another statistic.

Today's version of spring break is a far cry from innocent scenes of beach volleyball and sandcastles. More teens and young adults than ever are putting themselves at risk during spring break. We understand how parents and caregivers can feel they're out of touch with their teens. At the Partnership, we provide you with useful tips and tools based on cutting edge research to help you break through the noise and start talking with your children.

You can be a part of the solution. Your generous support will enable us to help families live healthy, drug-free lives, address new threats facing America's young people, help friends and family members find assistance for loved ones with drug or alcohol problems, and conduct essential research to ensure that our programs make a difference.
