• Southern Rockingham Coalition for Healthy
Youth gave us the idea for “Teen-Proof” and subsequent campaign with their fact sheet for parents.
• Our program’s Sandy Moses & the Lane County Suicide Prevention Steering Committee took “Teen-Proof” and ran with it.

OUR request We like to share. And…sometimes people steal
stuff and use it as “theirs.” Not you, but the
guy who borrowed from the guy who borrowed
from you. We’re not snobs but we worked
hard on this. Use for educational use only.

CAMPAIGN objectives 1. INCREASE PARENTAL AWARENESS of home
environmental conditions that could increase the risks of teen substance use, suicide, problem gambling and other problem behaviors
2. PROVIDE METHOD TO ENGAGE PARENTS in acknowledging these areas, knowing that many do not feel their teen is at risk
3. PROVIDE EASY TO DISSEMINATE
RESOURCES to schools, social service agencies and other programs serving parents

“TEEN-PROOF” What it is:
– BASICS on various risky behaviors in ‘tweens and teens
– A great excuse to fold in “undesirable” conversations with presentations
– Extra resources
What it isn’t: – A be-all, end-all
– Specific parenting advice

Target & modify. Audiences, requests & timing vary. The following
presentation is to a sample PTA group, 90 minutes.
Sometimes it can be split in two (particularly the depression piece, which would benefit greatly from its own talk –like QPR).
Arguably all of these points (and more) would get their
own time. But we know how busy parents are
Break it up.
Be real.

Suicide is the

cause of death

old Oregonians.
Psychological
issues & substance
