HIDDEN IN PLAIN SIGHT
This is a "must see" virtual education program for parents, caregivers, educators or anyone working with teens. The awareness program will show what may be hidden in your teen's bedroom that may indicate dangerous or high risk behaviors such as alcohol and drug use, vaping, self-harm or other risky behaviors. Our hope is that it will empower parents to communicate with their children about at risk behaviors that can lead to substance abuse disorders.
