Over 20 million Americans suffer from substance use disorders and 90% of Americans with a substance use disorder began using substances before the age of 18. Addiction is a disease that, for the vast majority of patients, begins in childhood. This is why it’s critical to remind them early, and often, that they can prevent addiction.

Adults play a critical role in adolescents’ decisions about substance use. This video series provides accessible guidance about preventing substance use disorders that can be shared by teachers, youth group leaders, coaches, and anyone who works directly with teens and adolescents.
