Teen Drug Discussion Planned In Horsham

HORSHAM, PA — The Hatboro-Horsham School district is sponsoring a discussion for parents on substance abuse and teenagers.

Titled "A Parent's Guide To Teenagers and Substance Abuse," the event is set for Wednesday, March 13 at Crooked Billet-Hallowell Learning Community, at 501 West Moreland Ave. in Horsham.

It is scheduled for 6:30-8:30 p.m.

The educational event will include discussion about the following topics:

• What are some of the most effective ways to keep our kids from using alcohol or other drugs?
• What are some of the signs that your teen might be drinking or trying drugs?
• The biological reasons that teens take risks.
• How parents can help shape their kids' choices and behaviors and raise successful adults.

The event is part of the Be a Part of the Conversation series. The series aims to create effective, culture-changing programs that increase awareness of the effects of alcohol and other drug use.

It is a collaboration of community leaders, students, school district representatives, and families who believe that having meaningful, inclusive conversations will support all young people in their efforts to develop healthy coping skills and access support whenever there is a need.
