Did you know teens who start drinking before the age of 15 are 6x more likely to develop alcoholism later in life than those who begin at 21? Now you do.

If you would like to help prevent substance abuse in teens, book Tami to speak at your school. Visit doitfordominicd.org to find out how.

Have you ever wondered why 21 is the minimum drinking age?

It’s based on research that shows that young people react differently to alcohol. They get drunk twice as fast as adults. It’s also hard for them to know when to stop.

Plus, it reduces alcohol related crashes involving teens. History proves that a lower drinking age made underage drinking worse too; states that had a lower minimum age saw over twice as many fatal traffic crashes as we do today.

Homecoming is tonight. It’s a good time to talk with your teen about not driving under the influence.

Asking questions that begin with “how,” “what,” or “why” can help start a real conversation. These questions let teens think through their options and consider the pros and cons.

Rather than telling them what to do, try asking questions like these:
• How would you handle being invited to a party where there are
older students?
• What might you say in that situation?
• Why do you think it’s risky to drink alcohol, use cannabis, or take other substances?
These kinds of questions help teens think through situations on their own
build confidence, and develop the decision-making skills they need to handle real-life challenges safely.

Share this with a teen you want to keep safe tonight. And drop any tips you have for talking with teens below.

Grief Face.

When the loss is too big to fathom, it takes everything, EVERYTHING, to get through each day. It didn’t take long before I became exhausted by my own tears. So I tried stuffing those silent screams inside my chest.

It was only a few months before the grief was right there, staring right back at me in the mirror. The side-by-side taken just 3 months apart added salt to the open wound, proving that my body was drowning right along with my soul.

Needing a very tangible way to stop looking grief in the face, I committed to myself with monthly facials at Allied Medical Aesthetics. And, slowly, I stopped suffocating on my own tears. Someone was taking care of me. And I cannot even describe how that feels.

For two years now, Amy Beth Terch has supported us by donating to our silent auction. Her generosity is incredibly appreciated!

On September 18th, 3–6 p.m., Gino and I will attend “A Beauty Boost & Bubbles Soiree.” If you would like to join us for this Open House, including exclusive offers and giveaways, RSVP at alliedmedicalaesthetics.com
