NAVIGATING YOUTH
SUBSTANCE USE
IN MARIN COUNTY
Let’s Talk is a resource for parents and caregivers, centered around
the idea that with a lot of solid science, and a lot of heart, we can
support our youth as they navigate the tough stuff.
LET’S START
THE TALK
According to the data, teens in our community have easy access and the opportunity to use drugs and alcohol. This is a reality. But as parents and caregivers, we can help them navigate through these tough decisions. Where can we start? Know the facts, communicate openly, and listen to our youth. To learn more, check out one of our community discussions and download a Let’s Talk booklet for middle and high school.
Teens can be so much fun, with their exuberance, creativity and critical thinking. But there’s a downside in that they are hardwired for risk.

DISCUSSIONS
In our community discussions, we take a deeper dive into the six sections of the Let’s Talk booklet with guest facilitators and topic experts. Parents and caregivers have the opportunity to share their experiences and best practices in a safe, solution-oriented environment.
DOWNLOAD ONE OF OUR BOOKLETS
These booklets were created for parents and care givers of high school and middle school students. They are full of vital information, resources and stories so caregivers can be educated about substance use among youth in Marin County.
