The number one reason kids give for not using drugs is their parents! However, 40% of parents believe they have little influence on their children's drug use. Worse, 50% of parents expect their children will use drugs.

When we ask kids what they would like us to do to help with the drug problem, the surprising answer is " talk to our parents about drugs ".

Informed Families/The Florida Family Partnership, Inc., a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization, is a broad-based, grass roots volunteer/parent organization that is affiliated with the National Family Partnership . Informed Families is an education, training and support center for parents, schools and communities to help raise safe, healthy and drug-free children.

We teach people how to say no to drugs and how to make healthy choices. To reduce the demand for drugs, Informed Families has focused its efforts on educating and mobilizing the community, parents and young people in order to change attitudes.   In this way we counteract the pressures in society that condone and promote drug and alcohol use and abuse. The organization educates thousands of families annually on how to stay drug and alcohol free through networking and a variety of programs and services .

Informed Families offers children's substance abuse prevention activities in various locations throughout the state of Florida.   Miami is where the agency has its headquarters.   Other service locations include the Jacksonville Region where the agency works in collaboration with the Community in Schools program, the Orlando Region and the Pensacola Region.
