Save the Date(s): April is Alcohol Awareness Month
Talk It Out joins forces with partners to host 10+ events across state
This April, the Talk It Out campaign is once again joining the long-standing, national grassroots effort to raise awareness of and to combat underage drinking.
Founded by the National Council on Alcoholism and Drug Dependence (NCADD) more than 30 years ago, this April marks the 31st Annual Alcohol Awareness Month. The goal of this year’s theme—Connecting the Dots: Opportunities for Recovery, A Comprehensive Approach to Addressing Underage Drinking—is to shed light on the many resources individuals, families and communities have to help prevent underage alcohol use.
In keeping with this theme, Talk It Out is joining forces with community partners across the state in recognition of Alcohol Awareness Month, with more than 10 events planned to address underage drinking.
Please help spread the word about upcoming events in your area!
