MARION, NC—Congressman Heath Shuler (D-NC) joined The Foundation for Advancing Alcohol Responsibility to bring Ask, Listen, Learn: Kids and Alcohol Don't Mix to students at East McDowell Junior High School today. The Foundation for Advancing Alcohol Responsibility created an interactive, physical fitness activity that builds on the existing Ask, Listen, Learn program and encourages kids to "say 'YES' to a healthy lifestyle and 'NO' to underage drinking." The initiative is based on research by Harvard Medical School's Dr. John Ratey, showing that for a person's brain to function at its peak; the body needs to move. The interactive activity, as well as a supporting website, encourages kids to live a healthy lifestyle. The website also provides parents with information and strategies to help jumpstart the conversation about the dangers of underage drinking.
"Encouraging kids to talk about tough topics such as underage drinking can sometimes be a challenge, yet Ask, Listen Learn's interactive fitness game is an engaging way to teach kids about the benefits of a healthy lifestyle and the health risks of underage drinking," said Congressman Shuler.
Jennifer Curley of The Foundation for Advancing Alcohol Responsibility added, "According to the National Survey on Drug Use and Health, nearly 16% of 12 to 14 year olds report they have consumed alcohol in the past month. Our Ask, Listen, Learn program has the potential to further reduce these numbers, as half (49%) of 12-14 year olds believe alcohol education has made a difference in the decision they have made regarding alcohol."
"We are thrilled The Foundation for Advancing Alcohol Responsibility was able to bring their Ask, Listen, Learn program to East McDowell Junior High School. Talking about the dangers of underage drinking with our youth is incredibly important and I have a feeling after today's event our students will be asking to play the interactive activity a lot. I believe the more enthusiasm we can build around this important issue – saying 'no' to underage drinking – the smarter choices our students will make," said Principal Charles Gaffigan.
Developed over six years ago, Ask, Listen, Learn has already reached millions of parents, kids, and teachers around the country. Ask, Listen, Learn's new initiatives include:
- Asklistenlearn.com encourages kids to "say 'YES' to a healthy lifestyle and 'NO' to underage drinking" by offering kids interactive and educational games and videos.
- Any kid can become a member of the Ask, Listen, Learn Team by taking a pledge to make healthy choices.
- Ask, Listen, Learn utilizes role models such as Speed Skater Apolo Anton Ohno and professional track stars Tyson Gay and Lolo Jones as "SuperStars." Ask, Listen, Learn Team members will be encouraged to read Questions and Answers from SuperStars to learn how elite athletes dealt with peer pressure as they were growing up. SuperStars will encourage kids to make responsible decisions and live a healthy lifestyle.
- Ask, Listen, Learn will have a supplement in Scholastic where teachers may find information about the program and how to incorporate it into their lesson plans, kids can tear out posters, and can play educational games to learn about living a healthy lifestyle and saying no to underage drinking.
The Foundation for Advancing Alcohol Responsibility
