Keeping Teens Safe in the Celebration Season

It's that time of year again - where rites of passage and celebrations abound. Prom, graduation, senior parties. Lots of fun for teens and sometimes nerve wracking for parents.

In its last program of the school year, MMAC is hoping to help parents keep teens safe by having Michael Litterer of Prevention Links offer parents suggestions for having “courageous conversations” with their children at prom, graduation and summer celebrations.

Litterer was the moderator of  MMAC’s on and will help parents with guidance on having those sometimes difficult conversations.

The meeting begins at 9:30 a.m. on Thursday at the Millburn Free Public Library and will include a presentation of the Distinguished Service Award, which this year will go to Debbi Abrams in appreciation of her “dedication and commitment to educating the Millburn-Short Hills community of the risks of underage drinking and illegal drug use.”
