Substance use continues to be an issue that adolescents are navigating within our AHS community. It’s important that our entire community is diligent in educating our students around the effects of various substances. Specifically, it is important that we continue to educate our students around smart and safe decision making and how the decisions we make today have the potential to impact our future. Whether or not you think that your student may be using substances, there is no better time than now to start having these conversations. Creating a dialogue is extremely effective in building trust with your AHS student vs. them feeling like they’re getting a lecture. The goal is to foster a space in which your student might feel more comfortable discussing these sensitive topics.
