SAMHSA Launches the 2019 Communities Talk: Town Hall Meetings to Prevent Underage Drinking

By: Luis Vasquez, LICSW, Acting Director, SAMHSA Center for Substance Abuse Prevention

Alcohol continues to be the most widely used substance of abuse among America’s youth. Recognizing the power of community to raise awareness of the prevalence and consequences of underage alcohol use and mobilize local action to prevent underage drinking, SAMHSA supports the Communities Talk: Town Hall Meetings to Prevent Underage Drinking initiative. This round of Communities Talk events will launch in January 2019.
