Parenting Resources & Prevention Programs
You have more influence than you think.
Research shows that parents are the #1 influence on whether kids use substances. We're here to help you use that power — with tools, programs, and community support.
Parent Involvement in Youth Prevention Parents Are Our Most Important Partners
Kids who learn about the risks of drugs and alcohol from their parents are significantly less likely to use substances. But knowing how to start those conversations isn't always easy.
That's where Prosser Thrive comes in. We offer programs, resources, and community spaces designed to help parents connect with their kids — and with each other.
You don't have to have all the answers. You just have to show up. We'll help with the rest.
Programs for Parents Tools to Help Your Family Thrive
We offer free, evidence-based programs specifically designed for parents of young children and teens. These aren't lectures — they're practical, supportive, and built around real families.
Family Program
The Incredible Years
An evidence-based program designed to strengthen parenting skills, promote children's social and emotional development, and reduce behavior problems. Ideal for parents of children ages 5–12.Â
Community Awareness
Community Presentations & Town Halls
We create spaces where community members can come together to learn, share ideas, and collaborate on solutions that support healthy youth and stronger communities. We focus on sharing local data, spotlighting prevention strategies, elevating youth voice, and sparking the community dialogue needed to drive real change.
Community Awareness
Hidden in Plain Sight
An interactive room display that shows parents and caregivers the everyday items teens use to hide substance use — turning awareness into action and opening honest conversations at home.
