Substance use is prevalent among teens, with 41.7% of 12th graders in the U.S. misusing alcohol, and 36.8% having misused a drug at least once.

Join our subject matter experts for a conversation on how to best talk to teens about substance use, effective screening techniques for both substance use and suicide, and evidence-based medication options for adolescent patients.

While we’ve tailored this webinar for clinicians, navigators, and administrators, anyone in the substance use disorder field is welcome to attend.
