Parent U: Screenagers - October 18th

Please join the NCS Student Services Department for a Parent University screening of the film Screenagers: Under the Influence. This film explores the role of substance use and abuse in the lives of teens. In today’s world, it is assumed that almost every teen will see images of substance use and abuse on television, in film, in social media, and through other screens in their lives. They are very likely to know other young people who use substances, and many, at some point, may try those substances for themselves. 

This screening is for adult caregivers of NCS students. The doors will open at 6:30 p.m. and the film will start promptly at 7:00pm.
