The most important partner to the drug prevention equation is the parents. Research continues to show that a parent’s influence on their child’s life is the number #1 indicator on the behaviors and decisions they will make later in life. MEADA strives to not only educate and impact the youth of our communities, but we also try to reach out to parents through numerous avenues. Many great resources exist for parents that deal with drug abuse and our youth. On this site you can easily find links to that information.
