How can “soft skills” result in drug-free kids? Today we are speaking with Shannon DiCandilo from Compass Mark to talk about how social emotional learning skills are key to emotional health, academic success, and delaying and preventing underage drug and alcohol use. Shannon shares how these skills play out in real life for kids, current trends on what substances youth are using–AND how they are getting it. We also discuss the link between mental health challenges and substance use, the vaping prevention program Catch My Breath, and also what is “stealth vaping”?! Join us!
Things we mentioned in this episode:
We had two episodes with Selena from Caron about vaping: part one and part two.
Jessica Lahey does instagram reels with information from her books.
Xyalzine and fentanyl leading to increased drug overdoses.
