How do you start a conversation with your kids about underage drinking? Allison Weber and Julia Sherman have some answers in this episode of 'Prevent This!'. They dive into Wisconsin's 'Small Talks' campaign, a unique initiative aimed at preventing underage drinking by equipping parents and caregivers with the right tools and information.

They even touch on the legal aspects and the vital role volunteers play in these efforts.
