The Partnership for Substance Free Youth and community partners in Buncombe County invite you to join our future community leaders as they come together to learn about the current state of addiction. This student-led initiative focuses on ways that young people can build their capacity for a healthier and safer future. The NC Student Summit on Opioid and Substance Abuse will take place at the YMCA Blue Ridge Assembly in Black Mountain on March 21, 2019.
Last year, there were measurable improvements in learning on the important topic of opioid addiction. Since the students gathered one year ago, they have implemented strategies in their own schools to increase awareness of addiction.
2019 topics include: opioid addiction and overdose, vaping, peer-to-peer communication, leadership skills, resiliency and more! Plus, there is an adult workshop track that focuses on teen engagement, becoming an ally, trends in teen substance abuse and action planning.
