Red Ribbon Week runs every year, from October 23rd through October 31st. Use the ribbons to spark conversations with your family about living drug-free!

Think turning a blind eye to kids drinking in your home is safe? Think again.

Introducing our new campaign, "Parents Who Host, Lose the Most."

Plain and simple--it is illegal to allow underage drinking in your home. Parents who allow alcohol to be consumed by underaged drinkers in their home can lose their license, be fined, and even face jail time.

It is everyone’s responsibility to promote healthy choices in our community.

If you support our mission to keep our teens safe and would like a lawn sign, please reach out to newprovalliance@gmail.com.

Want to connect with your teen?

Educate yourself about the issues in their life.
Have honest conversations – real talks make a real difference.
Lead with empathy and acknowledge their emotions. Create a judgement-free zone to give them the freedom to open up.
It all starts with connection. Learn more ways to connect with your teen at CDC.gov/FreeMind/Parents.
