Join us for a presentation on emerging drug trends by Emma Wilson, PreventEd Prevention Educator. In today’s world, it’s essential for those working with or caring for youth to stay informed about the shifting trends in substance use and the hidden dangers associated with easily accessible products. Many harmful substances, such as synthetic cannabinoids, inhalants, and over-the-counter items, are increasingly found in unexpected places like gas stations and convenience stores. By staying vigilant and understanding these emerging trends, we can better recognize the signs of substance misuse and empower youth to make informed, healthy choices.
