10/24/12 - A seminar aimed at teaching parents and professionals the latest changes in youth drug culture will be returning to Pinckney this week. The program, called Drugs 101, has taken place in Pinckney before but has been brought back due to a continuing need for adult education on the topic of drug use. The event features local experts on drugs, drug culture, and the impact substance abuse has on young people. Russell Stratton, a Community Prevention Specialist for Karen Bergbower & Associates, says any adult is welcome to participate and the meeting has gotten a very positive response in the past. The meeting will begin by allowing attendees to examine a mock-up of a teenagerâs bedroom littered with more than 70 drug-related items to see how many they can spot. Experts will then identify each piece of drug paraphernalia and explain to the audience how it is used. The meeting will also discuss the nature of commonly abused drugs and how to spot signs of abuse among students. Drugs 101 will take place at Pinckney Community High School on October 25th from 6:30 to 8:30pm. Details are available in the flyer that can be downloaded below. (TD)
