Join author Jessica Lahey for a Q&A on her book, The Addiction Inoculation, as well as a discussion of her work with youth and substance misuse. The session will explore why humans use and abuse substances and how the adolescent brain is uniquely wired for novelty and the risk of substance use, while being particularly vulnerable in very specific ways. Lahey will identify the major risk factors for substance abuse and explain what adults can do to overcome the weight of a given child's risk factors.
