A Little Crazy with David Magee

Students today face substance misuse and mental health challenges unlike what we faced before, but the good news is we know how to help. We're joined on this episode by Dr. Nick McAfee, the director of William Magee Center for AOD and Wellness Education at Ole Miss, named after David's late son William who died of an accidental overdose not long after graduating from college.

We discuss the drinking culture among college students, practical advice for those who binge drink, and the importance of clear-headed relationships. Parents will find tips on supporting their middle, high school and college students, while students can learn how to seek help.
