Small Talks make a big difference
Why should you talk to kids about alcohol? Underage drinking is a real problem in Wisconsin, and it starts earlier and can be more dangerous than you might think. But parents, loved ones, and other caring adults can make a real difference. All you have to do is talk. That’s right. Having small, casual conversations with kids, starting around age 8, can help prevent underage drinking.
Drug Prevention work is effective.
It helps save lives and strengthens communities.
What do you want to learn about?
Tobacco is Changing
Cigarette use may be dropping among Wisconsin’s youth, but newer, less recognizable tobacco products are gaining popularity fast, and that’s not good because there’s no such thing as a safe tobacco product.
Dose of Reality
It is important to get your DOSE OF REALITY about the risks and dangers of using prescription narcotics, as well as the signs of abuse, before it becomes a problem for you or your loved ones.
Small Talks
Small talks are short, casual conversations that help you connect with your child on the important stuff, like underage drinking. Having lots of small talks over time helps build trust and set expectations as kids change and grow.
