This Thursday, April 15, from 2 to 3 pm ET (Washington, DC time), AMERSA, ATTC, and NORC will host the webinar “Digital Mental Health and Addiction Interventions for Adolescents, Young Adults, and Families.” This webinar will review the existing literature on adolescent/emerging adult digital health for prevention and SUD intervention, the mechanisms of action that differ between interventions for adults and young people, ingredients of successful interventions including family and parental engagement, and promising future opportunities. Interventions that are simple to implement with existing tools will receive special attention. The webinar aims at helping those creating interventions for young people and their families.
