This week in honor of St. Patrick's Day we are doing a #FamilyFirstFriday with the upcoming celebrations this weekend in mind. Here are some things to think about to keep your family safe.
☘️ With the parties and events coming up - take this time to talk to the youth in your life about the dangers of alcohol use. Not sure where to start? Check out SAMHSA #TalkTheyHearYou mobile app https://buff.ly/3IASGGV and start exploring its resources on underage drinking, substance use, and mental health today
☘️ If you are hosting a party with underage youth, consider having fun non alcoholic options to encourage them to avoid underage drinking. Need some ideas? Check out this article with some fun family friendly options: https://buff.ly/4caWSus
☘️ Remember : Underage drinking is not a rite of passage, it’s against the law. In Arizona, providing alcohol to a minor is a class 1 misdemeanor. As a host, you can be held legally responsible for any injuries caused by an underage person who consumes alcohol in your home. Protect your kids, don’t provide them with alcohol.
