Join us for the 7th Annual Teaching Cannabis (and other drugs!) Awareness & Prevention Virtual Conference: Tobacco/Nicotine, Fentanyl/Opioids, Alcohol, Hallucinogens, and other substances. This 2-day program focuses on substance use education and prevention among youth, state and federal policies affecting youth; and available lessons for teaching substance education and prevention to middle and high school-aged youth. Designed for pediatricians, primary care providers, and the broader healthcare team, this activity also welcomes educators, community-based organizations, school administrators, parents, and school resource officers who play a critical role in supporting adolescent health.

Participants will gain practical strategies and evidence-based tools to:

• Deliver age-appropriate lessons to middle and high school students about the risks and effects of cannabis and other commonly used substances.

• Explore the latest research on cannabis use in youth, including its impact on the brain, cardiovascular system, and respiratory health. Identify early intervention strategies for adolescents experimenting with or regularly using substances.

By bringing together healthcare professionals, educators, and community leaders, the conference promotes a collaborative approach to youth substance use prevention and equips participants with the skills to support healthier futures for adolescents.
