Before Halloween weekend, make time for one important conversation: getting home safely.
During National Teen Driver Safety Week (October 18–24), talk with your teen about how alcohol, drugs, and some prescription medications can affect driving. Keep it calm and open. The goal isn’t to judge. It’s to help them make a safe choice, even when plans change.
Set clear expectations together: model sober driving, plan a safe ride before heading out, and promise that your teen can call you for a judgment-free ride home, anytime. A conversation now can make it easier to ask for help later.
Chrysalis Recovery Center has supported individuals and families since 2009. Let’s help young drivers feel safe making responsible choices and reaching out when they need us.
