About Time To Talk
Time To Talk® is the Partnership for a Drug-Free America’s nationwide movement that reinforces the major 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 supports parents’ efforts to be the heroes in their kids’ lives, which is one of the most effective factors in minimizing the risk of drug and alcohol abuse. We are a nonprofit organization that motivates and equips parents to prevent their children from using drugs and alcohol, helps parents intervene when use occurs, and supports families in finding help and treatment for loved ones in trouble.
