COURSE OVERVIEW
Marijuana and Vaping are both growing in popularity and use among teens in the United States, showing no signs of slowing down with large industries supporting them.

Even so, there are many ways that adults can help to lower the risk of addiction, within a family or an entire community. Attendees will learn about current youth drug trends (with an emphasis on marijuana and vaping), what to watch for to identify whether a young person is using, and best practices for reducing the risk of addiction.
