Preventing Substance Use Disorders in Children and Youth

Breaking the Cycle: Preventing Substance Use Disorders in Children and Youth

The webinar is intended to explore practical strategies for preventing opioid, stimulant, and other substance use disorders among children and youth affected by addiction in their families and communities. Participants will learn how early exposure to substance use, chronic stress, and community conditions can increase vulnerability over time—and how protective factors like connection, stability, belonging, and healthy coping skills can reduce risk. The session highlights what families, schools, and community helpers can do early to support resilience and interrupt cycles of addiction before they take hold.
