Parent Peer Groups

Proven Substance Abuse Prevention Techniques for You and Your Children
The Parent Peer Group (PPG) is an educational support system for parents. PPGs create fun, frequent opportunities for parents to share thoughts, activities and philosophies on "what works".
The initial four sessions will focus on four key topics called agendas:
- Brain Development - How the teen brain develops and the harmful affects of drugs and alcohol.
- Harmful Media - Understanding media (TV, Internet, Radio, Print) messages and changing their impact in your home.
- Social Norms - Identifying and changing social norms affecting your family.
- Building Parent Peer Groups - How to create and expand the positive impact of Parent Peer Groups in your community.
See What Others Are Saying About The Media Literacy Agenda
The goal of a Parent Peer Group is to provide parents the skills to set boundaries and monitor their children's behavior by creating an informal support system with their children's friends parents and in their children's schools. By fostering communication between parents, Parent Peer Groups help parents maintain a healthy environment for their children, keeping them safe, healthy, and drug-free.
