'Active participation by national school counselors in this innovative program is critical if we want to turn the tide on Inhalant Abuse among our own students. Parents need to include the risks of abusing Inhalants in every discussion they have with their children about substance abuse.' - Kwok-Sze Richard Wong Executive Director, Amerian School Counselor Association

'With 22% of 6th and 8th graders admitting to abusing inhalants, but only 3% of parents thinking their child has ever abused inhalants – it is clear that this generation of pre-teens and especially their parents have a lot to learn about the lethal nature of inhalant abuse.' - Stephen J. Pasireb, President and CEO, The Partnershi for Drug-Free America
