SAMHSA "Talk. They Hear You"

Keeping kids safe from underage use of alcohol and other drugs is a concern for parents. In this public service announcement from SAMHSA’s “Talk. They Hear You.” parent-focused national media campaign, we follow the growth of one family’s daughter, and witness the outcomes of talking to children early and often about substance use.

For more information about talking with your kids about underage use of alcohol and other drugs, visit underagedrinking.samhsa.gov.
