Peer Pressure and Living Drug-Free
October 29 @ 3:30 pm - 4:15 pm
Peer Pressure and Living Drug-Free – A Talk for Teens
Co-Presented by the Red Ribbon Campaign and Herren Project
Research shows that when making decisions, teens think about both the risks and rewards of their actions and behaviors. Unfortunately, unlike adults, teens are more likely to ignore the risk in favor of the reward. Join us for a panel discussion as we review strategies to help teens overcome some of the challenges related to peer pressure and making difficult decisions. If you’re a teenager, this talk is for you! Space is limited.
