Physical inactivity, unhealthy eating, risky alcohol use, smoking, sedentary recreational screen time and poor sleep are the ‘Big 6’ risk factors associated with chronic disease. While these behaviours are high among Australian teens, parents can play a vital role in guiding their teen toward healthier behaviours.

Strategies for supporting young people to improve the ‘Big 6’
An introduction to the Health4Life Parents and Teens program

Talking Teens and Alcohol
The good news? Fewer teens are drinking alcohol than in the past — a positive trend worth celebrating. But alcohol is still the most commonly used drug among young people in Australia, and it can have serious short and long term impacts on their health, safety, and development.
As parents and carers, staying informed helps us have better conversations and support smart choices. Read more at Positive Choices, an excellent Australian resource supporting education and conversation about healthy choices when it comes to drug and alcohol use.

Drug and Alcohol Education Resources for Parents Access accurate, up-to-date drug and alcohol information resources written for Parents, as well as guidance and tips for communicating with your children about this topic.
