April is Alcohol Awareness Month
Did you know that April is Alcohol Awareness Month? Physician Assistant, Darren Holland, shares the public health program that is drawing attention to the causes and effects of alcoholism, and connecting families & communities with help dealing with drinking problems.
"Alcohol Awareness Month is a public health program organized by the National Council on Alcoholism and Drug Dependence as a way of increasing outreach and education regarding the dangers of alcoholism and issues related to alcohol. The program was started in April 1987 with the intention of targeting college-aged students who might be drinking too much as part of their newfound freedom. It has since become a national movement to draw more attention to the causes and effects of alcoholism as well as how to help families and communities deal with drinking problems."
