Employers have a vested interest in helping their employees prevent family substance abuse. Many human resource and employee assistance professionals believe that employees who have children with substance abuse problems are more likely to suffer from decreased morale and productivity. The Parents@Work program, a component of the National Youth Anti-Drug Media Campaign, was developed to reach parents where they spend much of their time - at work.

Getting involved with the Parents@Work program is a free and easy way for employers, associations, unions and other organizations to share youth drug prevention information with working parents. This Web site contains ready-made resources, such as newsletter articles, Web banners, parenting brochures, multicultural resources, and much more. Distribution of these resources can help reduce absenteeism and health care costs while increasing productivity.
