Time-2-Talk

Topics like bullying, drugs and alcohol, sex, vaping, violence, depression, suicide, and so much more can be hard to address with our children. We know that talking to our kids about difficult topics is one of the most challenging parts of being a parent. It's not easy for any parent, but BStrong Together is here to help.

The key is to start talking early and talk often about difficult topics.

The Time-2-Talk Campaign, made possible through a generous grant from the Barrington Area United Way, is a multi-media campaign designed to support and encourage parents and other community members to talk about difficult topics with the children and young adults in their lives. It includes direct mailing to all Barrington 220 middle and high school families, as well as print and online information and resources. Topics include underage drinking, healthy relationships and interpersonal violence, mental health care and concerns, and more.  Click on the links below for talking tips and more information about how to talk to the children and youth in your life about these important topics.
