The Parent Venture: Cannabis Use - The Role of Parents and Community in Prevention

The Parent Venture: Cannabis Use - The Role of Parents and Community in Prevention

What role do parents and the community play in preventing cannabis use? Join The Parent Venture and Jason R. Kilmer, Ph.D., a national expert in cannabis prevention and intervention, to address the following questions:

  • How is cannabis in 2022 different from the 1970s, 1980s, or 1990s?

  • How can cannabis affect sleep quality, and what does that mean on subsequent days?

  • How does cannabis affect mental health?

  • How addictive is cannabis, and what are withdrawal symptoms youth could experience when they stop using?

  • How long after cannabis use should someone wait before driving?

Hear the answers to these questions and more, plus get your own questions answered, as we look at the recent science related to cannabis use (and what it means in our communities).

Parents/caregivers, students, educators, mental health professionals, and community members are welcome! Free admission. Spanish interpretation will be available.

This presentation is sponsored by the TUPE (Tobacco Use Prevention Education) program, San Mateo County Office of Education (SMCOE), in partnership with The Parent Venture.
