Parental influence and involvement is an important tool in preventing substance abuse. Let's Talk promotes this by encouraging conversation between family members.

Life is busy. Between work, school, sports, music lessons, and other commitments, time to talk gets pushed to the background. When there is an opportunity for conversation with your children, answers are usually of the "yes" or "no" variety.

To help get conversations started, Tri-City Partners has created Let's Talk: Conversation starters for busy families. The tin has over 120 questions that can be answered by all members in the family, although a few may be more appropriate for older children.

Some questions are thought provoking: "In what ways is respect shown/not shown in our family?" Some are serious: "What makes a person a success?" Some are just fun: "What or who makes you giggle and why?" How the questions are answered is not important - it's the aspect of sitting down together and talking, AND making a habit of it.

Now, the newly revised version also includes activites that families can do together.
