How we communicate\, handle stress\, navigate difficult situations\, and model our own behaviors can have a lasting impact on the choices they make. \nIn this engaging\, thought-provoking\, and practical keynote\, we’ll explore the incredible power parents and caregivers have to positively influence their children through intentional role modeling\, meaningful connections\, and honest conversations. \nTogether\, we’ll examine how to talk openly and effectively with our kids about alcohol\, drugs\, vaping\, and addiction; including the sometimes difficult conversations surrounding substance use and addiction within our own families. \nThrough real-life stories\, humor\, and practical strategies\, participants will discover how to replace lectures with conversations\, judgment with curiosity\, and fear with connection. \nBecause prevention isn’t just about what we tell our kids not to do. It’s about what we show them\, how we listen to them\, and the relationships we build with them. \nParticipants will leave feeling empowered\, encouraged\, and equipped with practical communication strategies they can begin using immediately. The Big Takeaway: You don’t have to be a perfect parent to be a powerful influence. You just have to be present\, intentional\, and willing to have the conversations that matter.  \nre-register for the workshop of your choice: \n#1 Prevention Strategies for Families with Elementary + Middle School Children with Gates Adjustment Counserlo Lindsay Newton\, LICSW \n#2 Adolescent Nicotine and Cannabis Use: What Parents Should Know in 2026 (Trends\, Strategies to Intervene and Treat) with MGH Pediatrician Jessie Calihan\, M.D. \n#3 Stories of Recovery and New Models of Treatment and Support with a Panel from South Shore Peer Recovery and Herren Wellness \n
