PARENT RESOURCES
In the many surveys we have conducted amongst Holly area youth, we have found that over 90% of students think their parents would disapprove of them choosing to use drugs or alcohol. This means that they're getting the message, but it's up to us to keep the conversation going.
Here parents can find numerous resources to get the facts about substance use and abuse amongst minors,
mediate the pressure to use by building positive elements in your child's life, communicate the dangers of drugs and alcohol, seek treatment and recovery, and how to keep them safe in the event of an emergency.
