MADD is reminding parents that their voice matters and that their teens are listening. We encourage parents and guardians to leverage their influence because "Lifesaving Conversations Start with You!"

PowerTalk 21 is a season dedicated to inspiring intentional, ongoing, and potentially lifesaving conversations between parents and kids about alcohol. The purpose of this event is to create a space for parents/guardians and teens to have important conversations, receive tips and tools to make these conversations effective, plus hear from other parents, teens, and experts about their experiences in preventing underage drinking and substance use.

Parents and youth welcome. Lunch and refreshments provided.
