Substance Use:
Is Your Teen at Risk?

Are you worried your teen is struggling with alcohol, vaping, or other addiction? Answer a few questions, then get resources and support.

Empower Yourself with Understanding Potential Substance Use in Teens

It can be tough to distinguish typical teen behavior from potential substance use. Substance use involves the consumption of alcohol, tobacco, or drugs, and even experimentation carries risks. Be mindful of significant shifts in your teen’s mood, secrecy, school performance, or friend groups. Physical signs like bloodshot eyes or unusual odors, possession of paraphernalia, or increased requests for money can also be indicators. Talk to a counselor for teens who specializes in addiction to get further help.
