What should I do if I think my child is using drug

We have seen many of our Kanyaw children using drugs, and the parents don’t know what to do. Sometimes—no matter how hard parents try—their children will experiment with drugs or alcohol. If you think something is going on with your child, take steps to find out for sure

In this video, we will talk about what we can do when our youth use drugs.

A word of caution. It is human nature to want to believe your children. If your suspicions are strong (and especially if you have hard evidence), do not pretend that everything is fine. It obviously isn’t. Also, do not blame yourself or believe that your family is beyond these challenges. Drug misuse occurs in all kinds of families. If the conversation becomes heated or out of control, express love for your child and end the discussion with a plan to resume it later. You took a big step, and you can try another day again. If your child refuses to talk or takes a turn for the worse, ask a school guidance counselor, family doctor, or drug treatment referral center for help.
