** presentation on the findings of the latest Student Health Survey
** tips on guiding your teen around drug and alcohol influences
Every two years, the state
conducts a survey among 8th, 10th and 12th grade students that assesses health and risk behaviors. Lisa
Sharp from the Seattle School district will present an analysis of the newest
data, including interesting information on kids’ attitudes towards marijuana
and alcohol use. A
brief video from the head of adolescent medicine at Children's hospital will
outline the role of parents and family members in preventing drug abuse. Afterwards Caleb
Banta-Green, of UW's Alcohol & Drug Abuse Institute, will lead a
discussion about what each of us can do to help our children make healthy
decisions now and in the future about alcohol, medication and drug use.
The
talk is appropriate for parents of kindergartners all the way through middle
school.
