Prevent Underage Alcohol Use

May/June 2025 E-Newsletter
Thank you to all of the parents who participated in our parent surveys this year! Your responses will be reviewed to assist in the development of next year's campaign.
If you're looking to get involved for the 2025-2026 school year or have any questions please reach out to Josh Strelitz at jstrelitz2@lakecountyil.gov
Please take a few moments to fill out this survey, which will help guide our efforts and better understand the needs of parents when addressing underage drinking.
What Happens?
What happens if your teen is caught using alcohol? Find moments to make sure your teen knows the real risks that come with underage drinking.
Follow-Up Moments
What makes a memorable moment? Taking the leap, opening the box, and trying the conversation - that’s a memorable moment! Once you do it, you can’t turn back. You may never feel as confident as you want to feel, but you can take steps to prepare for discussing underage drinking with your teen.
- Know a few facts. Teens who drink can have memory issues and may misuse other substances, too.
