About TIP the Scale​

TIP the Scale, a parent communication campaign, is very much a community effort aimed at involving parents in changing local attitudes and behaviors to prevent underage drug use with a focus on alcohol, marijuana, and tobacco (including vaping).  TIP stands for Talking Improves Parenting. The goal is to encourage parents to do their part to help TIP the Scale to stop underage drinking and drug use in Iroquois County by:
  • communicating with their teens that underage alcohol and drug use is both illegal and harmful
  • setting clear rules/enforcing consequences regarding underage alcohol and drug use 
  • and not providing alcohol or drugs for teens.​​
