Let’s Talk Drugs Webinars
Practical information. Open conversations. Support for your family.
Coming January 20, 2027:
Addressing Stigma
The way we talk about substance use matters, even before a young person has tried a substance. Labels, assumptions, and judgment can make it harder to ask questions, share concerns, or talk honestly about an experience. Open, compassionate conversations can help create space for guidance and support early on.
In this webinar, we explore what stigma looks like in everyday language and attitudes, and how it can affect a young people’s willingness to reach out. We’ll share practical ways parents and caregivers can listen without judgment, communicate concerns, and set clear expectations while keeping the conversation open.
Whether you’re starting conversations with your kids about substances, responding to a teen’s experimentation with substance use, or supporting a young person facing challenges, you’ll find strategies and resources, including the Parent Support Hub, to support you.
