How do you start the conversation about substance use? How can you prevent substance use early? Educating children on substance use starts with educating parents. Covering these topics is Glozell, along with Dr. Scott Hadland of Mass General Hospital, Denise Mariano of Partnership to End Addiction, and author and teacher Jessica Lahey.
Talk About It is a video series discussing the ways in which we can promote advocacy for recovery in our lives. Joined with individuals who have been impacted by substance abuse, our guests share their stories and discuss recovery in relation to their own experiences.
In the next episode of our year-long video series, our host GloZell chats with experts and advocates about what is normal teen behavior. They explore the pressures teens often face that may lead to substance use and addiction. Having ongoing conversations about alcohol and other drugs is important to not only protect them, but to set them up for success in the future: https://youtu.be/S1AicdpqbBU.

After experiencing a 16-day stay in the ICU involving multiple organ failures resulting from her drinking, Jessica finally made the decision to start her recovery journey.
This week on Heart of the Matter, Jessica joins Elizabeth Vargas to discuss how her parentsâ support helped her heal, how laughter played a significant part in her recovery, and her role as a co-founder of the Sober Mom Squad.
