Underage drinking-prevention campaign begins

St. Joseph County Substance Abuse Task Force is ramping up its annual Underage Drinking-Prevention Campaign.

Mikayla Finnerman, prevention specialist for the Centreville-based agency, said the 2024 theme is “Talk. They hear you.” Finnerman said the goal of the campaign is to provide parents and caregivers the resources they need to address the issue of alcohol and other drugs with children under the age of 21.

Finnerman said the campaign has historically equipped parents with knowledge and skills to increase actions that reduce and prevent underage drinking.
