Power of Parents is a program which prepares parents to talk with teens about alcohol.
** Research shows parents should talk early, talk often with children about underage drinking
** Parents – not peers remain the biggest influence on the children when it comes to alcohol
** Positive parenting strategies can help empower kids to avoid underage drinking
** Parents – you have the power: USE IT!
