SUMMARY:Talk Early\, Talk Often: Prevent Underage Substance Use - Free Webinar

You’ll learn how alcohol and cannabis affect the developing brain\, how parenting must evolve as kids grow\, and what truly works to reduce risky behaviors. \nAll registrants will receive a recording! All live attendees will receive a certificate of attendance! \nOperation Parent is a nonprofit whose mission is to love and support parents by providing real-world information\, connection\, and hope.
