New Website and PSA Help Parents Talk to Kids About Underage Drinking

New York State Office of Alcoholism and Substance Abuse Services (OASAS) Commissioner Karen M. Carpenter-Palumbo announced a new state website, “Talk2Prevent," and public service announcement to help parents talk to kids about the dangers of underage drinking. The parent campaign was unveiled at the Addictions Care Center of Albany's 2nd Annual Start Smart Field Day, celebrating 16 years of providing substance abuse prevention education to area schools. The new website, which features the PSA, also includes a fact sheet containing statistics and helpful tips, as well as other resources available to help parents reach out to community members and communicate to their child on underage drinking. The campaign was created to inspire parents of middle and high school students and provide them with support that will help them keep their child safe.   To view the website go to: http://www.talk2prevent.com/.
