You are invited to attend a presentation on youth substance abuse
prevention and addiction by Kevin Rosario on Tuesday, April 23rd @ 6:00 P.M. at the Nantucket New School. Please RSVP here. We are honored to host Kevin again this spring. His approach to educating and informing young people on this subject is remarkable and inspiring. He will present to our 5th, 6th, 7th, and 8th graders during the school day on 4/23.
Mr. Rosario is a Nationally Certified Recovery Coach, Family Coach and Intervention Professional and has worked in the field since 2012. Kevin has given addiction prevention and education seminars to over 8,000 students, teachers and parents over the last eight years and has a delivery that is easy to understand and well received. Data shows that many people with substance use disorder start to experiment between the ages of 12 and 15 so it is critically important to speak to adolescents and raise awareness about the dangers of early substance use.
The presentation will cover:
· Vulnerability of the adolescent brain
· Addiction risk factors
· Risk of Vaping, Marijuana, Alcohol
· Prevalence of Heroin and Cocaine
· Refusal Skills
· How to talk to your kids about drugs
