Preventing Underage Drinking For Freehold Residents

“My kids don’t do that ...or do they?”

The prevalence of underage drinking increases with age, making it more important than ever to begin teaching youth at an early age about the dangers of alcohol.

The purpose of the Town Hall Meeting is to increase community awareness on the issue of underage drinking, identify how underage drinking affects the community and provide parents with tools on how to prevent young people from using alcohol. Community resources to suit all parent and student needs will be available.

Underage Drinking Prevention: Town Hall Meeting is a national effort by the Federal Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, to educate youth, parents, caregivers, and other adults about the harmful effects of underage drinking.
