Hidden in Plain Sight is a free demonstration of a teenager’s bedroom with approximately 30 “red flags” that are signs of substance use. The goal of this program is to provide education and awareness to parents, grandparents, teachers, caregivers and anyone who works with teens. By the end of this program participants will know what seemingly innocent items can actually be an indicator of substance use.
Participants will also learn about drug slang, current trends, and signs and symptoms to be aware of. Hidden in Plain Sight is intended for adults only to avoid providing adolescents with a do-it-yourself plan to deceive parents and other adults. Many of those using drugs report experimenting with use beginning before the age of 13.
Walworth County Public Health provides in-person demonstrations for free. Interested? Fill out an inquiry form here and a Walworth County Public Health staff member will contact you.
