No Child is Safe From Drugs |
| When: |
Monday, July 14, noon to 1 pm |

Where: |
Henry Low Learning Center |
| Speaker: |
Carolyn Drazinic, M.D., Ph.D., assistant professor of psychiatry |

No one thinks – or wants to admit – that their child is drinking or
using drugs. This program is to enlighten parents who have an
impressionable child or teenager about the different kinds of drugs
available to kids, how they are attained, what to do if you suspect
your child is on something, how to get help, and more. Parents need
to be aware so they can speak to their child candidly about the
dangers of drugs and act quickly with the first warning signs of
addiction. The lecture can also be viewed live at
www.celebrate.uchc.edu/webcast. |
