"Supporting Safe Choices
for Burnett County Youth"

The objective of this initiative is to educate parents about the health and safety risks of serving alcohol at teen house parties, and to increase awareness of and compliance with Wisconsin’s Underage Drinking Laws. The campaign targets parents in order to educate them about the legal ramifications and health and safety risks of serving alcohol to teens. Too often communities look the other way when it comes to teen drinking, assuming it is a “rite of passage.” The truth: Purchase, provide, or pour alcohol for underage drinkers and the people they injure can sue you. And since your homeowners insurance doesn't cover illegal activity—the risk falls on you! |

The BCAAPC was granted a Strategic Prevention Framework State Incentive (SPG-SIG) grant. This grant works with state and local efforts to prevent the onset and reduce the progression of substance abuse, including childhood and underage drinking; to reduce substance abuse-related problems in communities; and to build prevention capacity and infrastructure. This project joins with the Governor's Kids First Initiative and the Healthiest Wisconsin 2010 state health plan. Specifically, this coalition will work 3 years to research and implement programming in the area of motor vehicle accidents that occur while intoxicated for the age group of 16-34 year olds in Burnett County. |
