Preparing for a new school year can be
both exciting and stressful for children. Whether
starting first grade or high school, a new school year means
new experiences, relationships, responsibilities, and
concerns. Among those concerns are bullying, smoking,
and underage drinking. The back-to-school season is
the perfect time to address concerns about substance abuse
and mental health issues with children, teens, and
adolescents. ASMHSA and the Office of National Drug
Control Policy (ONDCP) have tools that will help you keep
kids mentally healthy and drug free. Available resources
include publications, interactive training guides, fact
sheets, outreach tools, and materials from ONDCP's
award-winning Above the Influence campaign.
