“Talk, They Hear You” the App for Parents to address tough topics with their teen.

Can you imagine talking to a child.  Your child and having a real conversation where they listen and where they are engaged.  Sometimes in parenting or being an adult figure this is unimaginable but with a little guidance and tools you can build your wallet of information this is not as unimaginable as you would think.

First you will find the mobile app which is available on App Store, Google Play, and Microsoft Store.  This will help with those tough topics.

And who knew there was an App for that but this app shows how to turn everyday situations into opportunities to talk with your child about alcohol and other drugs.  This will help support adults no matter their role.  Whether it be a parent, a teacher, a mentor, or just an adult in a child’s life.

This will help prepare communities to implement and promote to assist professionals, school leaders, and families in supporting the needs of students who may be struggling with substance abuse, mental health, or school related issues.

About the App:

• Get Informed: Increase your awareness.
• Be prepared:  Introduce new techniques.
• Take action;  Increase actions.

Talk, They Hear You is helpful with sample conversation starters, ways to keep the conversation moving, interactive practice section, and opportunities to earn badges for practicing.

In a world of change, an adult can use all the resources available to them.  This may be more helpful and insightful than we might think.

This awareness campaign is brought to you in partnership with Tuscarawas County Anti-Drug Coalition.
