🗣️💬 Talking with Your Teen About Alcohol, Ma*****na, Va**ng, and Opioids Family Academy

Last week, 🏫 Fall River Public Schools, in partnership with 🤝 SSTAR Prevention Services, hosted a Family Academy focused on helping families talk with teens about alcohol, ma*****na, va**ng, and opioids.

🧠📚 This informative session explored why early prevention matters, how substances affect the developing brain, warning signs families should know, and practical strategies for starting meaningful conversations at home.

🌟 Families also learned about available community resources and supports. Childcare 👶, light snacks 🍎, and interpreters in Portuguese, Spanish, and Haitian Creole were available, and the session was streamed live on 📺 FRED-TV.

🎥 Check it out if you haven't already! Together, we can help support healthy, informed, and substance-free futures for our youth💙
