Moyers sits down with Deirdre Flynn, the manager of Hazelden Betty Ford's Prevention Solutions, to discuss how modern prevention strategies have evolved.

They also highlight the necessity of effective classroom management and parental education in fostering a supportive environment for kids. This episode offers a refreshing and hopeful perspective on how we can empower the younger generation to make informed, healthy decisions.
