It Won’t Happen to My Kid

Last night’s Town Hall event brought together Arlington adults and teens to think and talk about the culture of marijuana, alcohol and other substances in our community. More than 150 people packed the Central Library Auditorium for a standing room only audience to hear a guest panel talk about the impact that teen use and abuse has on a family as well as on the individual. The evening continued with teens and adults talking together about what the community can do to better support teens making healthy choices with regard to alcohol and drugs.
