Risk Factors for Alcohol and Other Drug Use

August 12, 2021 By Vicki

Generation Next is hosting a FREE online, on-demand session from the experts at Positive Choices: Risk factors for alcohol and other drug use: Implications for prevention.

This presentation will discuss the prevalence of drug and alcohol use among young people; the role personality, mental health and the developing brain have on shaping teenager’s drug and alcohol use, and implications for prevention.

The importance of evidence-based prevention practices will be highlighted along with three drug and alcohol prevention programs from the nationally funded portal, Positive Choices, established to help school communities access accurate, up to date, evidenced informed drug and alcohol information and prevention resources – The Illicit Project, The Preventure Program and The Inroads Program.

This session is recommended for anyone who supports young people and will be available now until August 31.
