In December 2021, SAMHSA launched the “Talk. They Hear You.”® campaign’s new “What Parents Are Saying—Prevention Wisdom, Authenticity, and Empowerment” podcast. This podcast provides a platform where parents and caregivers can get informed, be prepared, and take action by having open and honest conversations with their kids about substance use and mental health. In episode #7, our guests are parents motivated to help other parents. Listen as Jamila Robinson, of the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA), shares more about Red Ribbon Week and how the campaign got started in 1988. You’ll also hear from Simone, a mom from California, about her experiences talking with her kids about alcohol and other drugs. Lastly, Joelle Orrock, coordinator of a local coalition focused on prevention, discusses how her organization brings materials to the community to assist parents like Simone in these efforts. Look for coalitions like this in your community and use Red Ribbon Week as an opportunity to start talking with your kids about alcohol and other drugs. It marks an important moment in our history and is a great way to get the conversation started.
