A Community Resource for Parents & Teens

 

 STRONG PARENTS 

    STRONG YOUTH   

The presentation at Barrington High School on April 26th was a huge success.  Over 200 BHS parents attended and heard intriguing, factual presentations covering all aspects of underage drinking.  Experts shared their research and experience on how underage drinking effects the developing brain, impacts teen stress and mental health issues, and legal ramifications of hosting parties.  Local teens shared how underage drinking has impacted their life, from solidifying decisions to be alcohol and drug free, to dealing with family addictions.  The presentation concluded with some parenting tips from a local parent and counselor, including "One of the greatesst assets you have is your relationship with other like-minded parents.  Network whenever possible."

The BADPC is currently planning another speaker this school year, to continue this important conversation about the risks and dangers of underage drinking.
