 Small Talks is a statewide campaign created by the Wisconsin Department of Health Services that encourages adults – especially parents and caregivers – to have short, casual conversations about the dangers of underage drinking with the kids in their lives starting at age 8.
April is Alcohol Awareness Month
Now is a great time to talk with kids about alcohol. We've created new materials that offer practical, evidence-based advice to help you feel more prepared to have small talks.
Updated webpage
