Youth drug and alcohol use and misuse can have serious consequences.
The impacts of substance use are experienced by the entire family and
community. Adolescent substance use can contribute to numerous
negative health, social, and behavioral outcomes that can be
experienced immediately and over the lifetime. These can include
disruptions in physical and mental health, legal consequences,
adjustment problems in school or the workplace, and violent or
aggressive behavior. It is imperative that providers, community
partners, and family members are informed about drug and alcohol
trends, the effects of substance use on youth, and appropriate
prevention strategies, interventions, tools and resources.In this
full-day conference, participants will be provided with
trauma-informed and developmentally and culturally responsive
interventions to enhance engagement and assessment. Participants will
gain tools and resources to more effectively assess for youth
substance use and enhance youth and family engagement. Substance use
trends (including drugs, tobacco, and alcohol) among youth will be
examined through a bio-psycho-social lens. Topics will include youth
access, prevalence, risk factors, and temporary and permanent
physiological and psychological effects on the developing brain and
body. Protective factors, which are instrumental in building
resilience and healthy development will be examined throughout the
day’s presentations.
