Get the discussion started as soon as possible

College, university, and high school staff are often the frontline in the fight against underage drinking by making sure that parents are equipped with the information they need to start discussion with their teens.

We encourage colleges and universities to send this brochure to the parents of their incoming freshman classes or include it in the freshman orientation package. Schools can also include the brochure in email communication to parents in advance of orientation, move-in day, homecoming, or spring break.

We also encourage high schools and counselors to distribute the brochure to parents of the senior class to allow parents to begin the discussion as soon as possible.
