Getting Real about Teen Drug Use
HOTV PRESENTS:
A village learning and sharing event
Navigating the drug and alcohol scene is always a challenge for teens, but as they return to school and social activities, our kids are shouldering even more extreme academic and peer pressures.
Drugs are easier than ever to access, and with stronger concentrations and the explosion of synthetics like fentanyl, accidental overdoses are on the rise — often in youth trying for the first time or “just” experimenting.
We families and caregivers are in the best position to support our kids, but we need to know the facts and the realities.
Please join us May 19 from 7-8PM for a virtual event, to hear real-time stories, get more resources and meet these folks on the frontlines:
MVPD law enforcement officers sharing what they are seeing in the community, and their efforts to keep teens safe.
Michelle Leopold, a Marin parent who lost her son to a fentanyl overdose and now works around the clock in community outreach.
Kori Stevenson, a recovering addict and Marin parent and educator with Being Adept, an organization that equips parents and teens with cutting-edge drug prevention tools.
This talk is appropriate for parents and caregivers of 5th graders and up.
As with all HOTV events, our goal is to raise awareness around pressing issues, share stories and resources, and support each other through challenges.
Because it really does take a village.
