Face2Face presentations for parents establish a convenient and stigma proof way to educate parents and concerned community members about the trends and consequences of adolescent substance use and addiction. Our proactive panels include an addiction counselor as well as a relatable parent and/or adolescent in recovery (when available) to deliver this strong message. Additionally this program provides information about treatment resources available in the WNY community.

Program Goals

  • Educating families and community members of the prevalence and harmful effects of alcohol and drug experimentation, use, and dependence among adolescents.

  • Providing resources for substance abuse prevention, treatment, and recovery.

  • Encouraging healthy choices among youth regarding the consequences of experimentation and addiction.

  • Enhancing school and community programming by providing an opportunity to become educated on an ever-evolving and prevalent topic.

Discussing Books
“The stigma is still there, and we need to let others know that this is a disease, just like diabetes and cancer. By offering education in a group (such as to parents), everyone benefits. Even if they don’t have something going on in their family, they most certainly know someone who does. The only way to stop this epidemic is to educate.”
