As we prepare for Red Ribbon Week (October 23-31), let’s tap into kids’ natural curiosity about the developing brain and show them how alcohol and cannabis negatively affect it.

As your family prepares for a new school year, the Ask, Listen, Learn team wants you to feel prepared to have conversations about healthy behaviors with your kids. We queried Responsibility.org’s Educational Advisory Board and asked them for their tips on starting conversations with kids about health and wellbeing and of course, prevention education.

Summer has arrived at last! As part of our 20^th anniversary celebration, we want to challenge you to #Take20withKids while school is out! 

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

The end of another school year is almost here! You’ve been having conversations with your children and modeling good choices to empower them to say “YES” to a healthy lifestyle and “NO” to underage drinking.  While we have a lot to celebrate this school year, our work is not done yet!

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.

Celebrate the 20^th anniversary of empowering kids to say YES to a healthy lifestyle and NO to underage drinking. In honor of 20 years of prevention education, we’re encouraging you to #Take20withKids.

Ask, Listen, Learn resources are ideal for starting and continuing conversations about alcohol and the negative effects of underage drinking and cannabis on their developing brains.

In honor of this special week, created by the Dana Foundation, start conversations about what the developing brain does, what alcohol does to it, and what that does to them.

Teaching kids how to advocate for themselves, make good decisions, set goals, and prioritize mental health can empower them to say YES to a healthy lifestyle and NO to underage drinking.
