Join the Knowledge Empowers Youth (KEY) Coalition and Glenview Northbrook Coalition for Youth (GNCY) for a screening of the film Screenagers: Under the Influence, and hear from local experts and professionals on the issue of youth substance use, social media, tips for teens and parents, and more. This event will be hosted at Youth Services of Glenview Northbrook on Feb 1st, 2024 with doors opening at 6pm CST.

Screenagers Under The Influence: Addressing Vaping, Drugs, and Alcohol in the Digital Age, the third feature documentary in the Screenagers trilogy, delves into how the tech revolution has reshaped adolescence and its effects on substance use. The film debunks myths and depicts strategies parents and schools can use to encourage healthy decision-making, support teen mental health, set limits, and create healthy home environments. The film also includes many ways young people are using their wisdom and strength to help each other and themselves through this complicated terrain around substance use.

Following the documentary screening we will be hosting a panel discussion featuring local experts and professionals in the field of youth mental health, substance use prevention and treatment. The discussion will provide all attendees with the opportunity to hear from and ask questions about what our youth are facing and how we as a family and/or community can support their health, development and well-being.
