While CASA’s focus is always on reducing youth substance use, our education programs for parents cover a wide range of issues that impact their childrens' wellness. From mental health, to screen time, to anxiety to substance use, we strive to make sure that parents are educated on all of the risk factors for substance use and abuse.

Ty Cells: Youth to Youth International
“Creating Connections That Count” Parents learned FIVE principles to be more effective communicators. The presentation will describe practical ways for parents to effectively communicate with their children to positively influence their behavior regarding harmful substances. |
Naloxone Training
Approximately 1 in 5 people who use heroin will have an overdose each year and about 1 in 100 will die from an overdose. With brief training, people who use heroin and other opioids and members of their family and social networks can effectively recognize and respond to an opioid overdose and successfully administer naloxone, the opioid overdose antidote. Distributing naloxone to laypersons has resulted in thousands of overdose reversals and many saved lives. |
Vaping Education
Sgt. Sean Cassidy of the National Guard and Adam Birkenstock of LICADD have both expertly taken parents through the ABCs of electronic cigarettes, also known as vape or JUUL. |
