Parents! Want to let you know about an educational event for parents regarding drugs/parenting/advocacy. Should be a great night. Please come and let as many parents of middle school and high school kids know. You may forward this announcement to anyone you think would be interested. This is a big issue in our community!
If you can bring a desert that night please let me know.
Thanks, Nadine

Monday, May 24th join other community members and parents of teens atthe Boys & Girls Club from 6 to 8pm for dessert and An Interactive Tabletop Expo & Information Forum about our teens! We call it...Be in the kNOw!!!
The evening has 3 goals depending on parents needs: to educate,support and discuss.This idea sprung from three Durango moms who wanted to gather those concerned about substance use; to educate themselves while educating other parents on what is out there. Parents with teens can feel isolated and may not know where to turn to get the facts. Parents sending their kids to school may not know everything their kids are facing. This is an effort to stand together as a community to be knowledgeable and to protect our children.Some of the topics that will be covered: What is salvia? Tell me about drug testing Parenting resources. What is an appropriate curfew?Advocating for change. What are the signs of substance use? Bystander intervention for parents. Opportunities for action and advocacy. Show me the numbers-Show me! (Paraphernalia. Be prepared to be surprised!) How do I know if my child needs help? What are my options? Substance impaired simulation exercise for parentsParenting class. What are appropriate consequences? What if my child is in legal system? Social Media: texting etc..The Power of 3 Moms and growing. If you would like to be involved orhave questions contact Laura Lewis, Nadine Ontiveros or Carrie Whitleyat powerofparentsdurango@gmail.com
