The Pennsylvania Youth Addiction Prevention Summit (PA YAPS) is a one-day event for young people to discuss the current trends related to addiction and substance use in a safe and honest atmosphere. PA YAPS will include discussions about drug addiction, social media, gaming, and gambling addiction, and the health and mental health consequences, as well as workshops for building a life with meaning and purpose.
Parents and caregivers are also welcome. They will have a set of sessions separate from the youth including how to have conversations about drugs and addiction, advocating for yourself and your child with your health care providers, and how to help your child live a full and robust life.
