During this eye-opening experience, you'll learn:

  • How substances are disguised as everyday items
  • Common hiding places parents often overlook
  • Warning signs of substance use and concerning behaviors
  • How to start open, meaningful conversations with teens

Thursday, November 5 | 5:00–8:30 PM

Open to all adults in our community. Don't miss this valuable opportunity to become more informed, aware, and better equipped to help keep our teens safe!
