    About Time To Talk
    Time To Talk® is the Partnership for a Drug-Free America's nationwide movement that reinforces the huge influence parents have in helping children make healthy choices.

    Talking with kids about the risks of drugs and alcohol isn't as hard as parents think. Time To Talk helps make these conversations easier with free, research-based tools and tips to help parents and caregivers have ongoing discussions with their kids.

    The Partnership champions parents' efforts to be the heroes in their kids' lives. We are a nonprofit organization that motivates and equips parents to prevent their children from using drugs and alcohol, intervene when use occurs, and supports families to find help and treatment for loved ones when needed.
