Are you a parent/caregiver curious about substance use by teens?

Are you seeking information and resources to help support a young person in your life who is potentially facing an addiction and mental health concern?

Then you have come to the right place!

Research shows that adolescents are more likely to experience mental illness and/or substance use disorders than any other age group. This webinar will provide information to support parents/caregivers of adolescents who are at risk of, or who experience mental health and substance use challenges.  We will explore the relationship between mental health and addictions, and how to identify, support and respond to teens.
