"An Ounce of Prevention Has Never Weighed More: The Value of Addressing Youth Alcohol and Other Drug Use"
Effective prevention around alcohol and other drug use can have direct impacts on substance use by youth, adolescents, young adults, and our communities at large. Yet, science shows that what we do about substances can also have impacts elsewhere, including student success and academic outcomes, mental health, and suicide. In this presentation, we will review research that highlights the incredible value of prevention, ways in which what successes in substance use prevention will pay dividends elsewhere, and the important role of parents/caregivers in supporting a prevention message.
Jason Kilmer is an Associate Professor in Psychiatry & Behavioral Sciences at the University of Washington and serves as an investigator on several studies evaluating prevention and intervention efforts for alcohol, cannabis/marijuana, and other drug use. Dr. Kilmer is a graduate of Port Angeles High School Class of 1987.
This is an opportunity to share your ideas, comments and questions and talk about concerns facing young people in Port Angeles. Submit questions for the town hall via email, rray@co.clallam.us.wa
