“Schools have been striving to bully proof their buildings now for a number of years – long enough to create opportunities to learn what works and what does not. How do we get a bully to stop? What should we be telling victims? Where should schools focus their limited prevention resources? We have several hundred thousand bullying surveys from schools across the country to guide our answers to these questions and we will lay it all out for you in this fast-paced hour.”

Preventing Excessive Alcohol Consumption: Privatization of Retail Alcohol Sales
 The privatization of retail alcohol sales is the repeal of government (i.e., nation, state, county, city, or other geo-political unit) control over the retail sales of one or more types of alcoholic beverages, thus allowing commercial retailing of those beverages. States with government control of alcohol sales are referred to as control states, and states with privatized sale are referred to as license states. The privatization of retail alcohol sales generally applies only to off-premises alcohol outlets—retail locations, such as liquor stores, where alcoholic beverages are sold for consumption elsewhere. Privatization does not generally affect the retail sales of alcoholic beverages at on-premises alcohol outlets—locations such as bars and restaurants, where alcoholic beverages are sold for consumption on-site. Re-monopolization of retail alcohol sales is the re-establishment of government control over the retail sale of one or more types of alcoholic beverages.

Many of us have stood at the crossroad before wondering how we can tackle this enormous problem. Who’s responsible, what is our role, why doesn’t positive change seem to happen? Using the Institute of Medicine/National Academy of Sciences (IOM/NAS) Report on Underage Drinking as a foundation, you will learn step-by-step how to identify and prioritize underage drinking problems in your community, name the contributing factors and develop a plan for action.
