Prom and the after-parties is an important milestone in your teen\u2019s life, a time to celebrate. However, during this event, young people sometimes use psychoactive substances such as alcohol, cannabis and other drugs. Some teens may display behaviours that put their health and safety at risk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a parent, you can help your teen have an enjoyable evening while remaining safe.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\n<\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n\r\n<\/section>\r\n

Prom and the after-party: they\u2019ve been waiting for this for so long!<\/strong><\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Whether your teen is finishing secondary school or accompanying someone who is graduating, prom marks the end of an era. At last, it\u2019s time to celebrate all the hard work they\u2019ve put into studying and getting their diploma. Prom day and evening often brings with it lots of emotions and experiences!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Teens may want to take advantage of the ball and the festivities to enjoy different experiences, including using alcohol and other drugs. At prom events, the use of psychoactive substances can be not only present, but even a status-symbol for young people. The excitement of these events, the desire to fit in and feeling reckless may influence your teen\u2019s choice about using.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These events can entail risks. Alcohol and other drugs may affect a person\u2019s ability to think and make informed choices, even if your teen is not in a state of advanced intoxication. This means that young people under the influence of psychoactive substances may be more prone to behaviours that put their own and other people\u2019s health and safety at risk: having one too many drinks and binge drinking, driving under the influence, conflicts and aggression, non-consensual sexual activities, unprotected sexual activities, etc. Not to mention the regrets about some things they did or forgot about the evening!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are ways to reduce the risks of the celebrations getting out of hand. As a parent, you can help your teen make these celebrations a fun time while remaining safe. See the next section for concrete tips.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
