FREE Resources for National Drug and Alcohol Facts Week
National Drug and Alcohol Facts Week (NDAFW) is an annual event dedicated to educating youth about drug use and addiction with science-based resources.
At ETR, health education is a vital component of our work. When youth and communities are educated in supportive spaces with science-informed materials, it increases their chances to realize their full potential as students and citizens, as well as achieve their best health.
Join ETR for our next 3 in 30 webinar on April 3, at 10:30 am PT / 1:30 pm ET where we will share three tips in thirty minutes on Building Youth-Adult Partnerships to Advance Adolescent Health.
During this conversation, you'll hear from Erica Koepsel, Director of Youth Engagement at PATCH (Providers and Teens Communicating for Health), who will be joined by a Teen Educator and Special Projects Youth Partner.
They will share tips from their organization’s youth engagement model, which focuses on bringing youth voice into important adolescent health conversations while providing the knowledge, resources, support, skills, and opportunities needed for youth to become healthy, connected, and thriving adults.
If you’re a public health professional or provider who engages young people in your work, this is a talk you won’t want to miss!
