Screenagers Under The Influence: Addressing Vaping, Drugs, and Alcohol in the Digital Age
Walt’s Waltz is a compass and a megaphone for mental health support, education, and change.
Just Say Something Invitation: Join us at Wade Hampton High School for a special screening of Screenagers Under The Influence: Addressing Vaping, Drugs, and Alcohol in the Digital Age.
As the third documentary in the Screenagers trilogy, this film explores how the digital age has reshaped adolescence and its impact on substance use. It debunks myths, provides practical strategies for parents and schools, and highlights ways teens are supporting each other through today’s challenges with vaping, drugs, and alcohol. Unlike many documentaries that focus on severe addiction, this film addresses the everyday realities of substance exposure that young people face through social media, movies, and peer influences.
Blending cutting-edge science with real-life stories, Screenagers Under The Influence offers an engaging and informative experience for teens and adults. The film focuses on practical solutions to help keep teens safe while fostering healthy decision-making and strong mental well-being.
While the event is free, please register your attendance HERE.
