We know that most young people don't use alcohol or other drugs, and faculty and administrators supporting that idea and helping their community realize that it is a normal thing to be healthy...
Teenagers face a lot of pressure, and the choices they make can have lasting impacts. In this episode of 'Let's Talk Addiction & Recovery', host William C. Moyers sits down with prevention specialist Ian Groves to tackle the pressing issue of opioid use among teens.
Groves shares his wisdom on how to effectively steer young people away from substance abuse by debunking common myths about alcohol and nicotine and highlighting the significant effects these substances have on both mind and body. Groves offers a fresh perspective on prevention, suggesting that instead of having one daunting, lengthy conversation about drugs, parents and educators should engage in numerous short, meaningful chats throughout the day.
This method, he believes, is far more effective in helping teens prioritize their health and happiness. The discussion also delves into the specific dangers of fentanyl and other opioids, arming listeners with the knowledge needed to have impactful conversations about these substances. Groves emphasizes that most teens don't actually use alcohol or drugs, a fact that can be empowering for both teens and their guardians.
Whether you're a parent, teacher, or someone who cares about the well-being of young people, this episode is packed with practical advice and valuable insights. It’s not just about preventing drug use; it’s about fostering an environment where teens can thrive and make healthier decisions every day.
