Indiana Youth Institute, Youth First, Inc. and Warrick County Cares are sponsoring Youth Drug Trends: How to Identify Use and What You Can Do, a virtual event for parents and youth advocates. The event will be held on Tuesday, March 16, from 7:00 pm – 8:30 pm Central Standard Time.

Dr. Aaron Weiner, PHD, ABPP, will speak and lead the discussion. Dr. Weiner is an addiction therapist, board-certified psychologist and speaker based in the Chicago area. Dr. Weiner speaks on a broad range of topics related to chemical and behavioral addictions, vaping, marijuana and behavioral health

 

Neurologically and socially, youth are at greater risk for addiction than adults. There are many ways adults can help lower the risk of addiction, within a family or an entire community.

This virtual event will help parents, caregivers and youth advocates learn about current youth drug trends, with an emphasis on vaping, marijuana and alcohol. Attendees will learn how to watch for signs a young person is using and best practices for reducing the risk of addiction.
