Adolescence is a critical time for brain development, which makes education about substances especially important.
During National Drug and Alcohol Facts Week, we’re raising awareness about issues affecting youth today. Including va**ng, fentanyl exposure, ma*****na use, and polysubstance use.
Substance use and mental health often intersect. Teens struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, or stress may be more vulnerable to experimenting with substances.
Open conversations, accurate information, and early support can make a significant difference in prevention and recovery.
If your child or teen is struggling with mental health or substance use concerns, we offer support that can help.
