Teens Care Too

Hidden in Plain Sight

Hidden in Plain Sight (HIPS) is a free community initiative to help educate parents on possible signs of drug and alcohol use by teens. A teenager’s bedroom is replicated to allow parents to “snoop” around to find indicators of drug use and hiding spots.

Café Conversations

Café Conversations is designed to engage parents along with their middle school youth in an open and honest conversation about substance use, peer pressure, social media, how hard it is to be a kid today, and other issues facing our teens.

 

Driving School Packets

Obtaining a driver’s license is certainly a privilege, and Hanover Cares wants to ensure your safety by giving you a few “Keys to Success.” Getting a driver’s license is an exciting time, but can also come with other challenges and risks. As a community coalition, we want to see you succeed, stay safe, and make smart choices as a new drive.
