Profiled of target population• Style of life, habits (the chanel of distribution, when),
the system of values• Educational level (language of communication)• How the target population see the nature of the
problem ( for instance we do not speak because we do not how, because it is not important, because it is normal behaviour – most of people behave in this way)
OBJECTIVES• Increasing of parents self conscious - they should take care of stability, frequency and quality of family relations to protect their child from an inadequate reaction in a confrontation with drugs
•Persuading parents to conduct deeper conversations with their children, to spend more time with their children
•Persuading parents to broaden their knowledge about the drug phenomena (it is not limited to marginalized groups).
MAIN CAMPAIGN IDEA
• If You support Your child he/ she will have no will to indulge in drugs
... real, sensible, deep relations are needed for
that
DESIRED REACTIONSParents must realize that:• drug-addiction it’s not just the OTHERS problem,• communication quality really matters in relationship with a
child,• must find more about their parential competences, • drug problem really exists and panic is not an answer,• should be open-minded and talk free about risky
behaviour, including drug phenomena,• could not be only mentors but alliances for their children.

could be ok and it helps solve their problems.
