Town Hall Meeting Materials

 

 

The following are resources for communities who want to organize town hall meetings to

reduce underage drinking. Town hall meetings can motivate caregivers to talk with their children

about not using alcohol, encourage parents to adopt consistent, no-use messages, and educate

about how reducing alcohol marketing in communities can prevent underage drinking.

 

 

Town Hall Meeting 101 Invite your community to come together to identify what is needed to reduce underage drinking. Brainstorm ideas and decide what your community wants to do first. Build your team to carry out your plan.

 

The Business of Building Business Partnerships Invite your community to develop a plan for getting businesses, especially alcohol retailers, involved in positive community change, such as reducing outdoor advertising and removing beer gardens from family-focused events.

 

Parent Pledge Program Invite parents to develop a Parent Pledge Program with the local PTA or to identify other ways parents can work together to assure their young people do not use alcohol.

 

Alcoholic Energy Drinks and Teens Invite community members to learn about alcoholic energy drinks, the dangers in their formulas, and how young people are being targeted.PowerPoint ; Video Clip; Presentation tips
