In an effort to address favorable attitudes toward underage drinking and youth substance use in our communities, the MVPHC has worked with prevention staff in 7 cities/towns and a marketing consultant to create a social marketing campaign targeting parents and guardians of middle-school aged youth in our region.

                                  “Prepare yourself. Prepare you kid. Pass it on.”

Follow the links below to find more on how to prepare yourself for the conversation, prepare your kid with information, and pass it on to other parents and adults in your community.
