With every e-mail we send, we always like to share the best news with you about exactly how far we've come in the last two years. In fact, last week marked the second anniversary of the launch of the Five Moms campaign. We couldn't have made it this far, raising the awareness of medicine abuse among millions of parents, without the help of all of you.

But we are not done yet, and we still have many more parents to reach. Although almost two-thirds of parents say that they have talked to their teens about cough medicine abuse, there are still a number who have not had this important conversation.

This is a statistic we can work together to improve. The first step to prevention is education and talking about the dangers of abuse: when kids learn a lot about drug use from their parents, they are up to 50 percent less likely to use. As a part of the Stop Medicine Abuse initiative, we want to let you all know about a new educational tool for parents.

Soon, you will begin seeing this Stop Medicine Abuse educational icon on the packaging of most OTC cough medicines containing dextromethorphan (DXM). The educational icon was developed to serve as a tool to alert parents to the issue of teen medicine abuse. It serves as a mini public service announcement for parents, making them aware of the issue of cough medicine abuse among teens, and points them to StopMedicineAbuse.org where they can access resources they need, like our Five Moms articles, to talk about the issue with their kids.

Keep your eyes out for this new educational icon, and, when you see it, be sure to share it with family and friends. If you have an account Facebook, Twitter, or another network, you could even add the icon to your profile. Together, we can make sure more parents learn about teen medicine abuse and join our effort.

Thank you for all you do,

The Five Moms
