A Potentially Deadly Intersection: Social Media, Substance Use, and Mental Health

Presented by Rikki Barton, CEO/Lead Consultant of Onward Consulting

Social media is a permanent fixture in our world, and while there are positive aspects to it, there are also negative and potentially deadly effects related to substance use and mental health. Community coalitions need to be aware of those effects and work to address risk and protective factors around the intersection. This session will discuss emerging data related to the intersection of the three topics, as well as delve into ways to utilize the prevention model to address risk and protective factors and incorporate strategies to strengthen individuals and communities.

This training will be hosted virtually through Zoom. While the training is free to attend, we are asking all attendees to please register below.


The presentation will begin at 12pm. Please contact Stacie Zellin with questions.
