(Maine) What are you saying YES to?

"When you say NO to alcohol, what are you saying YES to?" features 5 youths from Maine offering their perspectives on why they choose not to drink alcohol. This video was produced through the SAMHSA/CSAP Underage Drinking Prevention Education Initiatives (UADPEI) in an ongoing collaboration with States and Territories to produce videos that support local underage drinking prevention communications efforts. Across the Nation, every State and Territory is unique and so are their approaches to preventing and reducing underage drinking. The video project supports the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration's Strategic Initiative #1: Prevention of Substance Abuse and Mental Illness, which states, "... prevention of underage drinking [is] a priority for States, Territories, Tribal entities, universities and communities."

For purposes of screening the video, we ask that you please download the video (captions optional) on the Maine Office of Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services website via the following link: http://www.maine.gov/dhhs/samhs/osa/i...

We have also provided an accompanying discussion guide on our website for talking to youth about alcohol. If you have any questions or comments please don't hesitate to contact Tim Diomede via email timothy.diomede@maine.gov
