“How to Talk So Kids Will Listen,” Substance Use Prevention Presentation on April 18

On Tuesday, April 18, from 6:00 to 7:30 p.m., Thetford Academy will host a community conversation about substance use prevention for teens. “How to Talk So Kids Will Listen” is based on the educational sessions from the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration’s “Talk. They Hear You.” campaign and aims to help parents and caregivers of youth (as well as anyone who works with youth) get informed, be prepared, and take action to prevent underage drinking, vaping, and cannabis use.

The event will feature a guest presenter from ALL Together, a Upper Valley community resource for the prevention, intervention, treatment, and recovery of substance misuse and suicide. A student panel will also be available for a Q & A session. Join us for this free public event to hear more about substance use prevention, “Talk. They Hear You” resources, and to share your concerns around youth substance use.

No registration is required, contact TA’s Student Assistance Provider, Kara Toms, ([email protected]) with questions.
