About the Family Guide
The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration developed A Family Guide To Keeping Youth Mentally Healthy & Drug Free to support adults—parents, family members, caregivers, teachers, and other youth mentors—in their efforts to help children ages 7 to 18 make good decisions, feel safe and protected, and have successful lives. The ultimate goal is to promote youth mental health and to discourage youth alcohol, tobacco, and illegal drug use.
