Screenagers Under the Influence: Addressing Vaping, Drugs, and Alcohol in the Digital Age delves into how the tech revolution has reshaped adolescence and its effects on substance use. The film debunks myths and depicts strategies parents and schools can use to encourage healthy decision-making, support teen mental health, set limits, and create healthy home environments. It also highlights the ways young people are using their wisdom and strength to navigate the complex terrain of substance use.
This film meets a pressing need for a comprehensive exploration of common scenarios faced by teens today. It is grounded in the current reality of teens being inundated with images on social media, movies, and TV shows that glamorize vaping, drugs, and alcohol.
