Parents Empowered Logo

Parents Empowered is a statewide media and community education campaign with the goal to have every Utah child reach the age of 21 alcohol-free so they can enjoy the benefits of a healthy brain. Because parents play a fundamental role in protecting kids’ healthy brains, the campaign is directed to parents, who are the number one reason kids don’t drink. Research also shows kids are less likely to drink when parents are actively involved in their lives and communicate their strong disapproval of drinking before the age of 21. Funded by the Utah Legislature, the community-based initiative provides parents and caregivers with information about the harmful effects of alcohol on the developing adolescent brain, along with research-based parenting skills to help prevent underage drinking.
