Seventeen Michigan communities are uniting in a nationwide initiative this week to address underage drinking, state officials said today.
The Federal Interagency Coordinating Committee on the Prevention of Underage Drinking is sponsoring Town Hall meetings, said Janet Olszewski, Director of the Michigan Department of Community Health.
Town hall meetings will give local communities the opportunity to raise awareness about the dangers of underage alcohol use, learn about the new research on the issue, provide opportunities for discussion on how their communities can best prevent underage alcohol use; and develop strategies for community-wide implementation.
Communities are most successful when parents, youth, education leaders, substance abuse coordinating agencies, local health agencies, justice/law enforcement agencies, highway safety representatives, alcohol control specialists, local government, and businesses join together in this effort, Olszewski said.
