These groups take place in many formats and may already be formed in your community. A good place to start is with your school district substance abuse specialist. Their counselors have access to many resources and can provide guidance to you on how to become a member or start a group. You may also contact your local law enforcement agency for assistance. Many areas already have organizations in place to deal with community issues that are not limited to underage drinking.
Groups can create forums of discussion with people throughout the community.
Parents, teachers and administrators, law enforcement, fire and rescue personnel, medical and law professionals, students, and business people may all be available to contribute to the discussion. Topics of discussion can encompass a range of subjects, from teen drinking and substance abuse in schools to crime in the community. Remember, just because a problem does not directly concern you, doesn't mean you shouldn't get involved. As noted, other situations frequently arise from underage drinking parties, and are not limited to liquor laws or regulations . Criminal acts can take place at an unsupervised party, or for that matter, at a supervised party.
