Talking To Children About Alcohol And Drug Use, There's An App For It

Easthampton Healthy Youth Coalition

With public schools in Massachusetts and elsewhere coming up on spring breaks, a national public health campaign is urging parents to use the time to talk to children about underage drinking and drug use.

The campaign called “Talk. They Hear You” is designed to help parents answer tough questions children often ask about alcohol and drugs.

In Massachusetts, the Easthampton Healthy Youth Coalition is part of the national campaign.

Coalition Coordinator Ruth Ever spoke with WAMC’s Pioneer Valley Bureau Chief Paul Tuthill.

The record-setting tenure of Springfield Mayor Domenic Sarno. The 2011 tornado and its recovery that remade the largest city in Western Massachusetts. The fallout from the deadly COVID outbreak at the Holyoke Soldiers Home. Those are just a few of the thousands and thousands of stories WAMC’s Pioneer Valley Bureau Chief Paul Tuthill has covered for WAMC in his nearly 17 years with the station.
