This event is for ADULTS ONLY! Whether you are a parent, grandparent or an adult entrusted with the responsibility and pleasure of caring for teens, this event is for YOU!
Let us feed your teen(s) dinner while you enjoy a pre-event viewing of the multi-media event "Look Before You Leap". This engaging and fast-paced video will touch on the subjects of drugs, alcohol, relationships, and so much more. All those subjects that make your teens roll their eyes, discussed in a positive way that they will receive! Registration will open at 3:30pm and the viewing will start promptly at 4:00pm. This viewing is for parents only ~ Your teen(s) will be viewing the same film later during the No Regrets Rally. A short discussion regarding the content of the film as well as the vital role you play in your teen's life will follow. We'll offer you ideas for conversation starters, keys to communicating with your teen(s), and give you an opportunity to ask questions! Why: “Youth whose parents talked to them about risky behaviors were significantly more likely to make healthy choices.”
“Youths surveyed; caregivers/parents had an influence that was just as strong, if not stronger, that that of their peers as the teens developed their sense of identity.”
“Adolescents with greater exposure to media with sexual content (TV, music, magazines, and movies) were more likely than peers with lower levels of exposure to be sexually active or to intend to become sexually active.” “Adolescents who reported receiving more parental monitoring (in response to questions such as “How often do you tell your parents where you’re going to be after school?” and “How often do you tell your parents where you’re really going when you go out evenings and weekends?”) had, on average, lower rates of alcohol misuse, illicit drug use, and delinquency throughout their teenage years compared to youths who received less parental monitoring.” Engaging in any level of drinking, smoking, sexual activity, or, especially, illegal drug use significantly increased the likelihood that a youth will experience depression, think of suicide, or attempt suicide.
