Medication LOCK BOX

Easy access is one of the number one contributing factors to the misuse of medications. Securing or locking up your medications helps reduce easy access to medications. Home medication lock boxes are available for those in need.

STORING AND MONITORING ALCOHOL AT HOME

Alcohol availability and easy access to alcohol are related to greater consumption of alcohol and alcohol-related problems among adolescents. Monitoring your alcohol and completing an alcohol inventory can help keep track of the alcohol in your home. 


Lock your liquor stickers

These stickers were developed to give parents and caregivers an additional resource to discourage underage drinking and prevent easy youth access to alcohol in the home. Securing or locking your alcohol helps keep youth you know safe. Using these stickers will also provide “an out” for youth—if your child is being pressured to get alcohol to share, they will not be able to.


E-cigarette Disposal

E-cigarette and vaping device batteries and vaping liquids must be disposed of properly. Learn more about e-cigarette battery and liquid disposal sites near you.


WI WINS PROGRAM

Wisconsin WINS is a statewide campaign that uses science-based strategies to decrease youth access to tobacco products and help retailers avoid fines. Local Franklin partners conduct investigations, retailer education and training, media outreach, and community education.
