What is alcohol awareness? It is knowing the effect of alcohol on the developing adolescent brain, what one serving of alcohol is and what constitutes binge drinking. It is talking with our children and having family rules about underage drinking. Alcohol awareness is also about what we as parents and a community can do to help our children develop stronger social and emotional skills -- what we teach our children about peer pressure, self-awareness, confidence, health and well-being. These skills support alcohol awareness and support an environment in which adolescents make healthier decisions about alcohol and other risky behaviors.

WaylandCares, Wayland Youth and Family Services, and the Wayland Public Library are pleased to provide a selection of books and other materials about alcohol, addiction, and parenting topics. Please visit the display on the main floor of the public library throughout the month.

Can't make it to the library? You can view programs on WayCam's website. Look for the WaylandCares folder under on-demand programs.
