Host Jodie Sweetin is joined by Amy McCarthy, Dr. Aida Balsano, Special Assistant to the Director of the Center for Substance Abuse Prevention and Robert Vincent, Associate Administrator for Alcohol Prevention and Treatment Policy at the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration. Ultimately our goal is to help parents have “The Talk” if it hasn’t happened yet, then let’s be prepared…if it has, how did it go?
If you screwed it up, no worries. Let’s figure out how to get it right. But, on the other hand, if you feel it went well, take this as a reminder that the talk is not a one-off, let’s figure out what’s next in this constant battle to keep those we love more than life itself safe!
In this episode, we will discuss the When and How's of talking with our kids about drugs and making smart choices.
