WELLWVU, in partnership with the Mountaineer Parents Club, invites parents, faculty, staff and members of the community to attend "Engaging Parents in Alcohol and Other Drug Prevention" with Rob Turrisi on Oct. 12, 7-8 p.m., via Zoom.
Turrisi, a biobehavioral health researcher at Penn State University, will cover topics such as:
Changes in parenting as students transition from adolescence to emerging adulthood/
Brain development and self-regulatory behavior.
Evidence-based prevention and evidence-based parenting efforts to reduce high risk drinking, cannabis use.
Alcohol-related problems in youth and emerging adults.
A major theme throughout the presentation will be on what we have learned from clinical trials evaluating the Parent Handbook, why it works and what parents can do.
