Description
This training will focus on the risks and potential harms associated with alcohol use, including legal ramifications. This training will also touch on advertising that targets youth, trends that have been seen in homes and schools (DEA Hidden in Plain Sight), local data trends that show age of use and community impact, as well as what community partners can do to help their youth.
