At Addiction Consulting and Education Services (ACES), we understand that parenting is a journey replete with joys, challenges, and the immense responsibility of guiding our children towards a safe and healthy future. Today, as we continue to witness the growing concerns around adolescent substance use, our commitment to educating and collaborating with parents remains stronger than ever.
Understanding the Stakes
The teenage years are a crucial period in an individual’s life, marked by significant growth and development. However, this is also a time when adolescents become increasingly vulnerable to substance misuse. Research indicates that early education on substance use disorder plays a vital role in prevention. At ACES, led by the dedicated Kevin G. Rosario, we are committed to providing parents with the comprehensive knowledge and tools required to combat the risks of substance use.
What We Offer: Engaging Seminars and Tailored Consultations
Our approach is proactive and grounded in the latest research and best practices in the field of substance use prevention and treatment. ACES provides a series of engaging seminars that delve into critical topics such as adolescent brain development and the potential impacts of substance use. These sessions are designed not just to educate but to foster an open dialogue, creating a supportive community where parents can openly seek advice and share their own experiences.
Beyond these seminars, we provide personalized consultations. We recognize that each family is unique, and our tailored consultations are aimed at addressing specific concerns, allowing for the development of a personalized approach to prevention within the home.
The Importance of Open Communication
One of our key goals is to empower parents to maintain an open line of communication with their children about the risks associated with substance use. Studies have shown that teenagers who talk regularly about the dangers of drugs and alcohol with their parents are significantly less likely to engage in these behaviors.
By equipping parents with accurate information and effective communication strategies, we can help fortify the family unit against the pressures and risks of substance abuse. It’s about creating environments where children feel safe to discuss their challenges and feelings, effectively reducing the likelihood of substance misuse.

We invite parents, educators, and community leaders to join forces with ACES as we educate, support, and inspire hope for families grappling with the challenges of substance use.
