Califano will share almost 20 years worth of insight and research on what really prevents children from using drugs and alcohol and will help parents understand that they have the greatest influence on their children's decision to use drugs and alcohol.  The presentation is based on his newly published Simon & Schuster Touchstone/Fireside book, which serves as a comprehensive, straightforward, usable guide to keeping children drug free during their formative pre-teen, teen, and college years.

Califano will offer advice on how to discuss many of the most daunting parenting topics like:

  • When and how to talk to your kids about drugs and alcohol.
  • How to respond when your kid asks, "Did you ever try drugs?"
  • How to know when your child is most at risk.
  • How to prepare your teen for the freedoms and perils of college.
Califano will be introduced by Dan Paradis, Head of The Park School.  Following the presentation will be a Q&A session.
