"Don't Wait" Film Screening
On Wednesday, March 22, 2023, Darien Library, the Thriving Youth Tax Force, The Depot Youth Center, Silver Hill Hospital, and YWCA Parent Awareness hosted a screening and discussion of the award-winning film "Don't Wait."
The film provides insight on why it’s essential for parents to talk to their kids early and often; how to best approach these conversations; and what to do if you spot the signs of drug and alcohol use in your child.
The 52-minute screening was followed by a discussion with Executive Director Erin Kelley and Vice President Teri Douglas of Addiction is Real, and Pam Greenberg, a mother featured in the film, who will all share their personal experiences with a family member's addiction. Attendees will receive a free handbook and will also virtually explore a teen’s bedroom to learn to identify the signs of drug and alcohol use through a “Hidden in Plain View” experience.
