The Kitsap County Substance Abuse and Prevention Services program is co-hosting HIDDEN IN PLAIN SIGHT.

Indicators of teen drug use, mental health concerns, unhealthy relationships and other risk factors can be hidden in plain sight. Join us to learn about current trends, warning signs and how to talk to youth about these issues. Walk through a mock teen bedroom and participate in a discussion and presentation about identifying risky teen behaviors, local youth trends and navigating the teen years. Parents, Caregivers, Educators and other adults who work with youth are encouraged to attend.
Must be 21+ to attend. No registration is required; refreshments will be provided.

This May, during Mental Health Awareness Month take action, raise your voice, and help change the conversation around mental health! Mental health journeys are unique, but the strength found within them is universal. This year's theme, "In Every Story, There's Strength," highlights the resilience and diverse experiences that shape mental health journeys within our community. Join the mental health movement! Even if you're not ready to share your personal story, you can still make a difference. Visit the National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI) to learn more about the campaign, share your story, or access available resources.
