Join Walton County Prevention Coalition for a virtual Hidden in Plain Sight presentation on Thursday, October 22nd at 6:00pm via ZOOM. This event is for adults and parents only, please no students. Registration for this event is free however, space is limited so please register ahead of time. The purpose of this interactive drug education presentation is to raise awareness of the signs that may point to risky adolescent behaviors.
During the presentation, participants will be taken through a mock teenager’s bedroom where parents, caregivers, or other adults will be presented with a series of objects that will give them insight into current trends youth use to conceal alcohol and drugs. Participants will identify hidden drug paraphernalia, warning signs, and learn more about symptoms of youth substance use to watch for.
The Prevention Specialists leading this presentation will provide guidance on how to talk to youth about drugs and alcohol, and what to do if a problem is suspected. They will share a few suggestions for starting difficult conversations with your teens about these issues. We recognize that it is hard to know what to do or say about substance use and we are here to help you start those conversations.
Up next for the Coalition is facilitation of the DEA National Prescription Drug Take Back Day in Walton County on October 24th. Stay tuned for details on how you can dispose of unused prescription medication in a safe manner.
