These professionals deal with the fallout from teen drinking and drug use on a local level, and can help parents learn how to make a difference in the lives of their children. The event runs from 11 am till 1 pm at the Sewickley Valley Y Community Center, located near the Paddle Tennis courts off Blackburn Road. There is no cost, and the presentation is open to the public.
