Participants will explore warning signs and behavioral indicators that may signal substance use concerns in students, as well as the short- and long-term effects substances can have on the developing brain. The session will also highlight practical prevention, coping, and emotion regulation strategies that counselors can use to support students, along with available school- and community-based resources for intervention and referral.
