MADD is pleased to announce our continued partnership with After School All-Stars for the 2026-27 school year!

We look forward to offering education on some of the dangers associated with alcohol, such as underage drinking and riding in a vehicle with a driver who is under the influence.

These young students are the future of our state and we are thrilled to be able to help make the streets of Nevada safer, not only for today, but for the next generation as well.

La forma en que criamos importa.

Establecer expectativas claras sobre el consumo de alcohol en menores es importante, pero la manera en que comunicamos esas expectativas también importa.
La crianza positiva fomenta conversaciones abiertas, reglas familiares claras y les da a los adolescentes la oportunidad de pensar en sus decisiones.
En lugar de solo decirle a su adolescente lo que no debe hacer, intente preguntarle:

¿Qué harías si hubiera alcohol en una fiesta?

Escuche sus respuestas. Hablen juntos sobre la situación. Ayúdele a desarrollar las habilidades necesarias para tomar decisiones más seguras, incluso cuando usted no esté presente.

Expectativas claras. Conversaciones abiertas. Decisiones más seguras.

How you parent matters.

Setting clear expectations about underage drinking is important, but how we communicate those expectations matters too.
Positive parenting encourages open conversations, clear family rules, and giving teens space to think through their choices.
Instead of only telling your teen what not to do, try asking:

What would you do if alcohol was available at a party?

Listen to their answers. Talk through the situation together. Help them build the skills to make safer choices, even when you're not there.

Clear expectations. Open conversations. Safer choices.

Tu influencia no se toma vacaciones de verano

El verano trae consigo más tiempo libre, mayor independencia y más oportunidades para que los adolescentes se enfrenten a decisiones difíciles. Dedicar unos minutos a hablar sobre el alcohol y otras sustancias puede ayudar a tu hijo adolescente a tomar decisiones más seguras durante todo el verano.

Your Influence Doesn't Take a Summer Vacation

Summer brings more free time, more independence, and more opportunities for teens to face difficult choices. Taking a few minutes to talk about alcohol and other substances can help your teen make safer decisions all summer long.

Sorry for the jump scare, but summer is half over 😬
Are you still making safe choices?
