Excellent presentation @BSPAHS by @PrevCouncil. One of my favorite slides reminds parents to have regular conversations with your children about drug use. Make expectations clear, and remind them often.

Teens drink less often than adults, but drink more per occasion. This can impair their judgment and put them and others at risk of physical harm and dangerous behavior. By preventing teen access to alcohol, we can reduce these risks! #StopUnderageDrinking bit.ly/2rIO0qQ
