2020: The Year Every Day was Family Day

 

Partnership to End Addiction
 

 

 


September 30 is Family Day

Inspired by our early research into the factors that help prevent teens from using substances, we created Family Day in 2001. Our goal at the time: to encourage families to eat dinner together more often. Over the years, we’ve continued to study how families can build strong, healthy relationships that prevent future substance use. Now, Family Day has evolved to recognize all the simple, little things parents and caregivers do with their kids that make a big difference.

So, why do we need a special day for families in 2020 when every day feels like Family Day?

The importance of continued engagement — and conversation — with your kids is more apparent than ever. Here are some great resources on how to bring up and talk about important topics, like vaping, risk-taking and others:
