It's important for young people and their parents to receive positive messages about brain health, including the importance of protecting growing brains from drugs and alcohol, according to a press release from the Bowles Center.
"We know the younger a child is when exposed to alcohol, especially to binge drinking, the greater chance for long-term brain changes with real health consequences, including addiction," said Dr. Fulton T. Crews, the center's director. "This is a vitally important issue for North Carolina and our nation."
The programs are free with admission to the Museum of Life and Science, which is $16 for adults and $11 for kids ages 3 to 12.
