New Parenting Resources – More From Listen First!
The United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC) have disseminated more evidence-based prevention resources for parents. “Listen First” is an initiative to increase support for prevention of drug use that is based on science and is thus an effective investment in the well-being of children and youth, their families and their communities. Listening to children and youth is the first step to help them grow healthy and safe. The website offers a variety of videos, science fact sheets, parenting tips, monthly newsletters, and much more.
Since most parents are employed, having tools such as “Listen First” are important to educate families on how to prevent substance use. These type of materials are essential for employers to share among their employees
