Partnership Promotes New Drug Prevention Programs

At the Prevention Research Conference, the CEO of Partnership for a Drug-Free America – Steve Pasierb - joined with PhD Ken Winters to present new treatment and prevention programs based on current scientific research.

“’We have developed Time to Talk, Time to Act, and Time to Get Help, groundbreaking resources focused in the areas of prevention, intervention and treatment, respectively,’ said Pasierb.

‘Each of these and several additional resources were developed with guidance from our Science Advisory Board and Parent Advisory Board. They feature tools, guides and online communities and provide information, action steps and personal support for parents.’” [Source: Medical News Today]

Though these tools aren't designed to help teens overcome addictions or substance abuse disorders, they offer guidance on how to ask for and get help.
