Parents' Free March Webinar: Navigating Tough Talks About Substance Use
Talking to teens about substance use can feel uncomfortable, or even overwhelming.
Questions about peer pressure, experimentation, and safety don’t always come with easy answers, and many parents aren’t sure where to begin.
Join Cartwheel and Amy McCarthy Baluch, LICSW, for a free, live webinar: Navigating the Tough Talks: Strategies for Talking to Teens about Substance Use on Wednesday, March 11, 2026, from 12–1 pm ET
Parents and caregivers will learn practical strategies for starting conversations, responding calmly to tough questions, and helping teens make safer, healthier choices, while keeping trust and communication strong at home.
