Substance Use & Prevention Workshop: A Talk to Have With Your Child at All Ages 3.15.23

Children as young as elementary-school age are reporting the use of alcohol and illicit drugs. To support students’ social, emotional, and physical health, LOSD CARES is hosting a virtual workshop with Brian McCrady of the Clackamas County Prevention Coalition discussing substance abuse prevention for children in grades kindergarten through 12th grade. During the 1-hour online workshop, parents/guardians will learn how to identify signs of substance abuse, how to talk with their child about it, and how to find help.
