Talk it Out NC Webinar Series
As part of the Talk it Out NC virtual presentation series, featured speakers discuss strategies and research about preventing underage drinking. Our speakers join us from a variety of backgrounds and professional fields, and we appreciate their input and help in reaching our goal to stop underage drinking in North Carolina!
Stay tuned for more information about upcoming events in our Talk it Out NC webinar series!
Underage drinking in North Carolina starts earlier, and comes with higher costs, than we imagine. Not just dollars and cents, but lives lost, futures irrevocably altered, brains forever impaired — all of the physical, social and emotional damage that can weigh down tweens and teenagers for the rest of their lives.
Your kids may already be more aware of alcohol than you think. And they’re almost certainly ready to hear what you have to say.
Start your conversations now. And stop underage drinking in your family.
Together, We Are The Solution.
