Community Updates
Screenagers Under the Influence
Documentary Screening and Q&A. Hosted by Members of the Somerset County Municipal Alliances, Bernards Township Health Department, Community in Crisis, and Governor's Council on Substance Use Disorder.
Synopsis of the film: Screenagers Under The Influence: Addressing Vaping, Drugs, and Alcohol in the Digital Age, the third feature documentary in the Screenagers trilogy, delves into how the tech revolution has reshaped adolescence and its effects on substance use. The film debunks myths and depicts strategies parents and schools can use to encourage healthy decision-making, support teen mental health, set limits, and create healthy home environments. The film also includes many ways young people are using their wisdom and strength to help each other and themselves through this complicated terrain around substance use.
While most documentaries about substance use focus on severe addiction, Screenagers Under The Influence fills a pressing need for a film that explores more common scenarios. The film is grounded in teens’ current reality of being flooded by images on social media, movies, and TV shows about vaping, drugs, and alcohol.
Date: Wed., April 10, 2024
Doors open 6pm, Movie at 6:30pm
