2024-2025 Wellness Workshops: Teen Substance Use and Mental Health

September 11th, 2024

All HCPSS parents/guardians are invited to take part in a series of free workshops, held in partnership with Congruent/Integrative Counseling, to discuss the challenges of youth substance use.

Each session will begin with a brief 10-15 minute presentation on a youth substance use topic. Parents will then be invited to ask questions. This is a safe place to meet and learn more about current concerns that our children are experiencing related to mental health and substance health.
