Are Parents Addicted to Enabling?
Enabling PSA
Drug Free.org's new television public service announcements (PSAs) have parents talking. Part of a campaign titled "Emotional Drugs," these spots shed light not only on the harmful behavior of teen drug and alcohol use, but on what parents do, or don’t do, to intervene in their child's substance abuse.
Directed by Phil Joanou, Jr., son of Phil Joanou, one of the founding members of The Partnership at Drugfree.org, the PSAs demonstrate how parents' emotions – avoidance, fear, enabling, shame – are just as powerful and dangerous as drugs themselves.
We encourage you to view and share the new "Denial" and "Enabling" PSAs with friends and visit their Emotional Drugs Facebook app, which was created as a hands-on resource for parents and allows them to share stories, get help and find encouragement to intervene
