Even as teen drug abuse declines,
prescription drug abuse continues to increase. This seminar will
ground the audience in the scope of the problem and what can be
done to reduce it. First person accounts from teens’ who
are in recovery from prescription drug abuse will bring the issue
to life. The prescription drug abuse problem is multi faceted,
but parents’ response can often be quite simple –
limit access to reduce diversion and abuse. Unlike many “street
drug problems,” this is a substance abuse issue that parents
can directly affect, and once they understand the nature of the
problem and learn some key tips, parents are quite motivated on
this issue. We’ll share how we developed key messages and
how to outreach to health professionals, education professionals,
parents and local media.
