Prevent This!

Benzodiazepines are gaining popularity among our youth. In this episode, we cover what they are, signs and symptoms of use and abuse, history, statistics, and what parents can do to prevent use.

One common theme that is present in families dealing with substance abuse problems is the lack of parental authority. Ashleigh, Sandi and Katie discuss what parental authority is, why it's important and how to re-establish it. 

Every September, SAMSHA sponsors Recovery Month to increase awareness and understanding of mental and substance use disorders and celebrate the people who recover. In this episode, we talk about recovery.

Thank you for joining us on our first episode of Prevent This! A Podcast of Your Choice where we cover everything substance abuse related from prevention to treatment to recovery and everything in between. 

Episode 1 discusses who we are, how we got started as a prevention organization and why we do what we do!
