Narconon Hawaii
In 2006 Kelly Preston launched the Narconon Parent Kit: “Keeping Your Kids Drug-Free, What Parents Need to Know.” She also filmed and recorded PSAs promoting this kit that were aired on dozens of television and radio stations. Kelly and Narconon Hawaii teamed up with drug-prevention groups to produce and distribute free educational kits designed to help parents talk to their children about the harmful effects of drugs. The kit has a drug education DVD featuring drug prevention specialists giving easy-to-learn information for both children and adults. The DVD is introduced by Hawaii Lt. Gov. James “Duke” Aiona and University of Hawaii football coach June Jones.
