Your kid actually does want to talk to you.
(About drugs anyway.)
We’re excited to team up with Cherry Health, University of Michigan Health-West, Mercy Health and Spectrum Health to bring Talksooner’s free resources to MORE parents!
Virtual Teen Room Tour
Virtual Teen Room: What is hiding in plain sight?
Today, youth can easily conceal vapes, alcohol, and other substances with everyday, ordinary objects. At first glance, a parent or teacher might see a hi-liter, but it is a vape pen hiding in plain sight. A water bottle on the nightstand looks normal but can come apart to stash substances. Not sure what to look for or even where to begin? Tour through a teen's room staged with 44 different concealment containers, vape pens, and other indicators of youth substance use. For more information from substance use prevention professionals about the room, its concept, the items in the room, and further helpful information, click here.
