Parent Education

Parents Who Host Lose the Most

Drug Free Manatee’s Parents Who Host, Lose the Most campaign educates parents about the health and safety risks of providing alcohol to teenagers while increasing awareness of, and compliance with, underage drinking laws.

The public awareness program, which has been implemented in all 50 states, targets celebratory times for youth such as homecoming, holidays, prom, and graduation.

Through its Alcohol Task Force, Drug Free Manatee has provided Parents Who Host educational materials, community engagement strategies, and planning tools to parents and community members so they can mobilize, partner, and share the message that teenage alcohol consumption is unacceptable and serving to minors has serious consequences. These materials include flyers, banners and a media campaign advertising House Party, a public service announcement (PSA) Drug Free Manatee produced based on the principles of Parents Who Host.

Drug Free Manatee has also provided high schools with banners to display at their school and gives out flyers and rack cards at community events.
