Substance use is changing and knowing what to look for can make a real difference. Middle school is a time when students are navigating major social, emotional, and developmental changes.

The UFT Member Assistance Program is offering Health Speaks, a training series designed to help members better understand current substance use trends, recognize warning signs, and feel more prepared to respond when someone may be at risk.
