CADE is more than drug education. We start by talking about substance abuse prevention, but also include violence-reduction programs that help children build skills in:

• Problem solving
  
• Decision making
  
• Conflict resolution
  
• Effective communication
  
• Engaging in alternative activities

Talking about drugs begins at home. Kids say that parents are the most important factor in keeping them drug free. Parents who talk to their children before they are 12 are the most effective at preventing the use of alcohol, tobacco and other drugs.
