Everywhere we turn, our cultural and social practices have normalized and even glamorized alcohol and substance use. From sporting events to mainstream media to celebrations and gatherings, the casual and "fun" use of substances presents dangerous perceptions for youth, increasing their risk for addiction.

Join ParentIN CVSD in a LIVE and FREE event presenting Jessica Lahey, author of The Addiction Inoculation and New York Times bestseller, The Gift of Failure: How the Best Parents Learn to Let Go So Their Children Can Succeed. Jessica is a national speaker, with years of lived experience as a teacher, addiction expert, recovering alcoholic, and mother, and will share research-backed strategies on how to set up our kids for the best outcomes. Jessica will share practical strategies to raise them with a strong sense of self-efficacy, building their skills and confidence to navigate challenging situations like substance use.

Light snacks and childcare for potty-trained children will be provided.
