Edison State Community College
Ohio's Start Talking! Program

Governor and Mrs. Kasich have requested we distribute information containing tools and information to help spur and sustain conversations about drug abuse with our children, grandchildren, and children we might teach or mentor in some way.
 
For those interested in more information and resources, including a link to sign up for bi-weekly email tips, please visit Start Talking!
 
Why Start Talking! was created

Start Talking! is a new effort championed by Gov. Kasich and First Lady Karen W. Kasich aimed at preventing drug abuse among Ohio’s most vulnerable citizens – our children. The majority of substance-free adolescents credit parents for the decision not to use illegal substances. Likewise, teachers and other authority figures can have a similar influence on youth and their decision-making.

Parents, grandparents, mentors and peers can make a difference just by talking to young people about drug abuse. The Start Talking! initiative was developed to:

• Help parents understand the risks to their children and empower them with simple, effective strategies to act;

• Provide programming for schools to reinforce positive messages;

• Encourage peer-to-peer conversations among youth to promote healthy lifestyles; and

• Focus on building resiliency in our youth so that they have the necessary emotional tools to resist substance use.
