Feed Your Mind Series | Substance Use and Youth: What to Know and How to Help

Substance Use and Youth: What to Know and How to Help

Adolescence is a time of exploration—and sometimes that includes experimenting with substances. This session gives parents, educators, and caring adults the practical tools to recognize early warning signs, understand what's driving today's teen substance use trends, and, most importantly, how to start conversations that actually work.

You'll learn:

  • What substance use looks like now (it's not what it was when we were teens)

  • Red flags vs. normal teenage behavior—knowing the difference

  • How to talk about substance use in ways that keep communication open instead of shutting it down

  • When to be concerned and where to turn for help

  • Developmentally-appropriate language that reduces shame and builds trust

Whether you're navigating these issues for the first time or looking for better ways to connect with the young people in your life, this session will equip you with evidence-based strategies grounded in real experiences from schools and clinical settings.

Who should attend: Parents, teachers, coaches, youth group leaders, family members, and anyone who cares about supporting young people through one of adolescence's toughest challenges.

Feed Your Mind Series | Virtual Program | Understanding Healthy Relationships: A Conversation for Our Community

Understanding Healthy Relationships: A Conversation for Our Community

Join us alongside our partners at SHALVA for an important discussion about supporting the young people in our lives—ages teens through young adults—as they navigate relationships. Whether you're a parent, educator, mentor, or community member, this program will provide practical tools and insights to help young people recognize what healthy relationships look like.

In today's world, young people face unique challenges when it comes to relationships—from peer pressure and social media dynamics to understanding boundaries and communication. Together, we'll explore:

  • Key characteristics of healthy versus unhealthy relationships

  • Age-appropriate ways to talk with tweens, teens, and young adults about respect, boundaries, and consent

  • Warning signs of unhealthy or abusive relationship patterns

  • How to create safe spaces for young people to ask questions and seek support

Following the presentation, you'll have the opportunity to ask questions during an interactive Q&A session with a licensed therapist from SHALVA. Whether you're concerned about a specific situation, want guidance on how to start difficult conversations, or simply want to better understand relationship dynamics, this is your chance to get expert advice.

This program is designed for adults who care about the wellbeing of young people in our community. Come ready to learn, share, and support one another.

The session will include:

  • A gentle opening + intention setting

  • 30 minutes of guided breathwork with music
