My guest for this episode is Dr. Bonnie Halpern-Felsher! Dr. Halpern-Felsher an endowed professor in the Pediatrics Department at Stanford University, the founder and Executive Director of the Stanford REACH Lab, and the President of the Society for Adolescent Health and Medicine. Dr. Halpern-Felsher is an absolute giant in the field of youth prevention, publishing over 200 manuscripts, and she and her lab have created vaping and THC prevention curricula that have positively impacted the lives of teens from coast to coast.
It was an absolute honor to have her on the show, and I think you'll definitely enjoy the conversation! We talk about:
- Why focus on prevention, particularly right now?
- Based on what we know right now, is it harder to quit vaping or smoking? And what resources are available to help with quit attempts?
- When the reality of how teen substance use impacts the developing brain is legitimately concerning (not to mention high fentanyl presence in the street market), how do you craft effective prevention messaging that doesn't feel like scare tactics?
- Is it possible we can address the youth mental health emergency and teen substance use at the same time?
And more!
