Safe Homes / Smart Parties
As parents of adolescents we all need to help our children make responsible decisions about alcohol and other drug use. Our youth survey shows us that a significant place that children are getting intoxicated is in their homes or the homes of their peers. The Safe Homes / Smart Parties Program is a prevention tool for parents to help their children avoid risky situations.
Safe Homes / Smart Parties Programs have been utilized successfully across the country since 1983. These programs give parents an opportunity to join together in providing safe, drug and alcohol-free environments for their teenagers to socialize while presenting a clear message to the Town's youth.
By participating in Guilford's Safe Homes / Smart Parties Program, you will be joining other parents in taking a strong stand on the issue of underage drinking and other drug use. More importantly, you will be showing your concern for the health and safety of the children in our community. When adults stick together, it goes a long way towards protecting our kids.
A list of participating parents will be developed and shared on a password protected page here on our website. Only participants will have access to this information. This will afford you the chance to identify and email a parent to ensure they are aware of the gathering planned in their home, that it will be supervised and that it will be drug and alcohol free.
