Adolescent drug use doesn’t have one cause. Some grow up around it, some use it to cope with trauma in unhealthy ways, and others, even despite strong protective factors still find escape in substances. If kids don’t yet know their values, how can they truly see their own worth?

This 5.5 CEU training will explore the complex intersection of brain development, Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs), and substance use, and what it means for the children, families, and professionals navigating these challenges.

Here’s what you don’t see when you hear about family reunification.

You don’t see the guilt. The anger. The hurt.The deep belief that maybe you’ve failed.

What if one click could help protect a child from abuse? Well, it’s not that simple but we can all become more informed and advocate for our children.

Hey friends, did you know that only about 67% of youth in Alabama’s foster care will graduate from high school? There are many factors involved from frequent moves, instability and other challenges they must overcome.
