Preventing Underage Drinking Is A Job for Everyone
Preventing underage drinking is important work that requires commitment from the entire North Carolina community. Through the Talk it Out NC campaign, we communicate the dangers of underage and teen drinking, and provide tools and resources that help coaches, educators, faith leaders, and the rest of our NC parenting community discuss the topic with young people they influence.
