Not Being Jaded: Talking to Youth Who Might Be Getting Faded - Unpacking Youth Substance Use
This training supports youth-facing providers and care teams. Utilizing didactic discussion, we will describe the prevalence of youth substance use (SU) and emerging trends, paying specific attention to common substances, such as nicotine, cannabis and alcohol. We will review youth-specific risks of SU, including acute and chronic harms; discuss overdose education and naloxone; and highlight communication tools that support working with youth who use substances.
Following this training, participants will have the knowledge to:
- List three major substances used by youth.
- Identify potential risks/health effects associated with youth substance use.
- Identify signs of opioid overdose and strategies for prevention.
- Recognize at least two strategies in talking with youth about substances.
