SUMMARY:Understanding Substance Use Disorder and Stigma Effects!
DESCRIPTION:REGISTER NOW[/butt \nKnow the Facts! Substance use among youth and young adults is at its highest level. This disease can cause or increase mental and physical health related issues and can lead to problems at school\, home\, and work. It can put our youth at risk for involvement with the correctional system or worst of all\, lead to loss of life. Substance Use Disorder (SUD) impacts the entire family. This special extended workshop will explore local and national statistics\, risk factors\, and the effects of SUD on the brain and polysubstance use. A video will be shared\, “Pleasure Unwoven” a personal journey about addiction by Kevin McCauley. He turns complex neuroscientific concepts into easy\, understandable virtual images that helps explain why SUD is a disease. Also discussed are protective factors\, the social and mental impact of stigma and how we can help. This information can be used to start these important conversations with our children and youth. Our kids and young adults are our future\, so it is critically important that parents\, family and community members truly understand this disease and know that recovery is possible! Do not wait to get started! \nThe G.E.A.R. Parent Network\, a Kennebec Behavioral Health\, is where Gaining Empowerment Allows Results.
