This interactive life-size exhibit of a teen’s bedroom displays more than 20 “red flags” that can signal risky behaviors, like drug or alcohol use. The bedroom identifies spots where teens may hide drugs, household items that can be used as drug paraphernalia, and ways teens try to cover up drug and alcohol use. This is a “must-see” for all parents! The presentation is for adults only, 21 years of age and over.
*New this year! There is an extensive display of vaping devices, including JUUL. There will be a discussion about the vaping epidemic affecting our youth and tips provided on how to talk to your kids about the health risks of vaping.
For more information, call the Health Department at 414-529-6155 or view
