Connecting families to local services and support is essential to helping adolescents thrive. This was a key message shared at the Bi-Annual Adolescent Networking Mixer at Fort Lauderdale Behavioral Health Center.

Easy Access to Cannabis, Difficult Consequences for Youth.

A study published in JAMA Pediatrics found that cannabis use during adolescence and young adulthood was associated with lower grades, higher absenteeism and dropout rates, and lower rates of high school graduation, college enrollment, and degree completion.

As cannabis becomes easier to access, it's important to understand the potential impact on our youth. Early intervention is key.

If you or someone you know has a loved one who may be struggling with substance use, you're not alone.
