CRIVITZ, Wis. -- Communities that Care of Marinette & Menominee Counties invites community members to attend its community talk, "Marijuana, Teens and Tomorrow," an educational town hall focused on youth marijuana use, its potential impacts, and what parents, caregivers and communities need to know to help protect the next generation.
The event will take place from 6 to 8 p.m. Wednesday, Nov. 18, in the Crivitz High School Auditorium, with doors opening at 5:30 p.m. for light refreshments and giveaway registration.
The evening will feature a 45-minute documentary screening of Johnny's Ambassadors' "Cannabis-Induced Psychosis: A Silent Epidemic," followed by a panel question-and-answer discussion with local professionals and representatives from area law enforcement agencies
Attendees will have an opportunity to learn more about the evolving landscape of marijuana, potential risks associated with youth use and the role families and communities can play in prevention.
This town hall is designed primarily for parents and guardians, caregivers, grandparents, youth-serving professionals and other adults in the community who want to become better informed about youth marijuana use. Although the event is geared toward adults, students ages 13 and older who are accompanied by a parent or guardian are welcome and encouraged to attend. Special student-focused giveaway drawings will also be available.
Pre-registration is strongly encouraged. Those who register in advance through Eventbrite will receive additional giveaway raffle tickets, and the first 50 individuals to pre-register will receive even more additional giveaway tickets.
