💬 **One Conversation Can Make a Difference.**

Parents and trusted adults have more influence than they may realize. Research shows that having open, honest conversations with young people about alcohol and ma*****na can help delay or prevent substance use.

The **Start Talking Now** campaign offers free tools, conversation starters, and age-specific resources to help families navigate these important discussions with confidence.

Whether your child is in middle school, high school, or preparing for college, it's never too early—or too late—to start the conversation.

📲 Visit **Start Talking Now** to access free resources and learn simple ways to:
• Build strong family connections
• Set clear expectations
• Stay involved in your child's life

Learn more at: https://starttalkingnow.org/

Together, we can help our youth make healthy choices and build a brighter future. 💙

Talking to your kids about alcohol and ma*****na can be tough, but it may be the most important thing you do. Be the one to help keep your family safe. Have a conversation about the risks of alcohol and drugs and share the facts with others.

We are beyond proud of our Warriors Unidos Prevention Club for receiving the Innovative Award for their prevention project at the Spring Youth Forum 2026! 🎉👏

Our students competed against nearly 40 schools from across Washington State, and only ONE team was selected as the winner in each category — making this achievement even more incredible!

Their hard work, leadership, and dedication to prevention are truly making a difference in our community. Congratulations, Warriors Unidos! 💙💛

💚 Parents and caregivers are often the first to notice when something feels different. Changes in mood, sleep, appetite, or behavior may be signs that a young person needs extra support.

Learning the warning signs and starting conversations early can make a big difference. 🤝

💚 Los padres, madres y cuidadores suelen ser los primeros en notar cuando algo se siente diferente. Cambios en el estado de ánimo, el sueño, el apetito o el comportamiento pueden ser señales de que un joven necesita apoyo adicional.

Aprender a reconocer las señales de alerta e iniciar conversaciones a tiempo puede hacer una gran diferencia. 🤝
