3/1/14 - Families concerned about a young member involved with substance abuse are being encouraged to attend a pair of workshops that start next week. Called "Teens Using Drugs: What To Know and What To Do" the workshops have been a free resource for Michigan families since 1999. Held at the St. Joseph Mercy Hospital Education Center in Ypsilanti, audiences frequently include residents of Livingston County, as the program is presented by the Livingston and Washtenaw Regional Coordinated School Health Program Council. The first program titled âWhat To Know," will be presented this Tuesday March 4th from 7:30 to 9pm. It will provide information on understanding and recognizing teen substance abuse problems. The follow-up, called âWhat To Do," will take place the following Tuesday, March 11th, also from 7:30 to 9pm and will provide information on what should and should not be done when a teen substance abuse problem is suspected or identified. It will also include a short talk by a recovering teen speaker. Both sessions are free and open to the public. While they are targeted primarily to parents or caretakers of teens, anyone with an interest is welcome to attend.
