Many parents and teens consider experimenting with alcohol a part of growing up. The fact is young people who use alcohol and other drugs put their health, safety, and futures at risk. Join us on Dec. 3 at noon to hear Sanford Health Child & Adolescent Psychiatrist Dr. Stefanie Hanisch talk about the effects of alcohol on a child's brain. We'll also hear a personal story from MATTO Foundation Co-Founders Dr. Mike and Mary Beth Traynor on the importance of delaying use. Event is free and open to the public. Registration is required.
