Hasta La Creative!

A teen explains how her mother would rather be a buddy to her and her friends than a parent in “Enabling.” The spot depicts the mother hosting an underage party at their home and later turning a blind eye to teens engaging in drug and alcohol use. Both ads illustrate that behaviors like denial and enabling can prevent even the most well-intentioned parents from taking action and addressing their child’s substance use.
