Even though school may be out for the summer, the teaching and learning continues, especially when it comes to lessons on responsibility. This summer assign yourself some homework to continue conversations with your kids about making responsible choices because when kids are empowered, they’re more likely to say “YES” to a healthy lifestyle and “NO” to underage drinking.

October 23-31 is Red Ribbon Week and this year’s theme is “Life is a Puzzle, Solve it Drug Free.” Since there are many pieces of the prevention education puzzle that need to come together to keep kids alcohol- and substance-free, here are 5 pieces to focus on to teach kids to say “YES” to a healthy lifestyle and “NO” to risky behaviors like underage drinking and underage cannabis use.

It’s time to get kids back to school! Helping your kids transition from their “summer-selves” to their “student-selves” involves using their summer experiences to shape the ways they move forward.

As parents and educators, it’s our responsibility to help kids feel energized, optimistic, and excited to say “YES.” Here are a few things that kids can say “YES” to as we make our way into the final weeks of school and prepare for summer.

April is Alcohol Responsibility Month, and it is the perfect time to emphasize good decision-making skills with your kids.

Over the last 20 years, more kids are saying “NO” than ever before—with more than 6 out of 10 kids having never consumed alcohol. That’s a record low!

The statistics don’t lie—underage drinking is down and the majority of kids don’t drink. The 2023 Monitoring the Future study found that alcohol consumption among America’s teens is at or near record low levels and below pre-pandemic prevalence rates.

This year for Teacher Appreciation Week—just like in years past—we want to say two simple words to educators everywhere: THANK YOU

April is Alcohol Responsibility Month, and this year, we are celebrating 20 years of Ask, Listen, Learn. Over the last two decades parents, educators, organizations, and communities have worked together to empower kids to say “YES” to a healthy lifestyle and “NO” to underage drinking.
