Join us for a virtual discussion focused on current alcohol and drug use trends among Marin County youth. We will review local data, discuss the broader context of substance use in the community, and explore how Marin’s culture may impact youth behavior. The presentation will also include a youth speaker who will share their personal perspective on local data and trends among their peers. This session is intended to help families better understand and support the health and well-being of young people in Marin.
