Ahead of the school term, Lilla Edet municipality is encouraging parents and other important adults to talk to teenagers about alcohol and other drugs. The municipality refers readers to Fullkoll.nu and lists its own parental support as well as helplines run by Bris and Save the Children. The notice was published on 14 August 2026.
What happened?
The municipality's information page is headed “Your no is important” and is aimed at guardians. It describes the start of school as a time when young people may encounter new friends and unfamiliar situations, and encourages adults to discuss alcohol and other drugs. For practical support, the page links to Fullkoll.nu, Bris's support line for adults concerned about children, and Save the Children's parental helpline. Lilla Edet also offers advisory conversations on parenting, with current contact details on the municipal website.

Impact and significance
The page gives local families one route to several sources of advice and support, rather than only presenting a campaign slogan. The municipality cites Fullkoll.nu as saying that teenagers given alcohol by their parents drink more, that young people appreciate help with arguments for declining alcohol, and that nine out of ten teenagers view clear alcohol rules positively. These claims should be understood as Fullkoll.nu material cited by the municipality, not as WUA research.
Background
Lilla Edet published the information in its care and support category. The municipal text also says that most young people believe it is wrong for parents to buy alcohol for their children. The page lists telephone numbers for the national helplines and links to the municipality's advisory parental support. WUA does not repeat the numbers in this summary, allowing readers to verify the most recently updated contact details directly with the municipality or support organisation.
Latest update
The original page was published and last updated on 14 August 2026. It contains no results from a local campaign evaluation and does not announce a new municipal rule. It is advisory information ahead of the school term. Readers seeking support or current contact details should use the links on the municipality's page.
