Start Talking Grandview

Congratulations to Taylor Younkin, our GHHS 2026 Start Talking Grandview Scholarship winner!
At Start Talking Grandview, we work to engage our community in respectful, informed conversations around substance misuse and its impacts. Our scholarship recognizes students who lead with empathy, resilience, and kindness- and Taylor truly embodies those qualities.
One reference shared that Taylor consistently “served as a positive role model,” while another described her as “empathetic and kind.”
We are excited to see Taylor continue her journey at The Ohio State University this fall!
Congratulations, Taylor!

🌟 Tonight’s the Night—Celebrate Big, Stay Safe, Make It Count!
Many teens (and parents) don’t realize that tampering, even with legal beverages can happen.
Encourage your teen to:
✔ Stay with trusted friends
✔ Avoid unattended drinks
✔ Only celebrate in familiar, legal-age locations
✔ Speak up if someone seems suddenly unwell or uncomfortable
✔ Get help immediately if something feels off
This isn’t about fear-it’s about awareness, boundaries, and care.

If you’re opening your home for prom-related gatherings-thank you for caring about kids’ safety.
Hosting responsibly means:
🚫 Keeping gatherings alcohol-free
👀 Being present and visible
👋 Greeting teens as they arrive
📱Calling parents if concerns arise
Even well-intended hosting can carry legal and safety responsibility.

Because Not Everything Goes As Planned...
Even with the best intentions, prom night can throw a few curveballs.
Here’s how to build a solid back-up plan:
📞 Tell your teen they can call you or another trusted adult anytime-no questions asked
📲 Make sure a friend has your contact info
🚗 Ensure your teen has money or a ride-share app loaded for an emergency ride home

Teens don’t need lectures—they need clarity and reassurance.
Yesterday we talked about knowing the plan. Today’s focus is on back-up thinking—because even good plans can change.
Helpful steps:
📞 Make it clear your teen can call you anytime-no judgment
📝 Consider a written agreement (MADD’s Parent–Teen agreement is a great option):

👥 Talk with other parents about shared expectations.

Set your teen up for a safer prom night!
📍 Know their plans
📱 charge their phoneand
💬 ask open-ended questions: What are you most excited about?
Who would you call if you needed help leaving a situation?

Preparation = connection, not control.
