Idaho Family Dinner Night

Research has found that frequent family dinners can lower rates of depression, substance use, and delinquent acts among teens. Eating together may protect children and youth from depression and risky behaviors by providing a regular and comforting context to check in with parents about their day-to-day activities and connect with them emotionally. That’s why the Office of Drug Policy is encouraging you to celebrate Idaho Family Dinner Night this year on September 22nd – or any night – and make regular family meals a staple in your home!
