A typical teen's bedroom may be full of clues or signs of drug use or abuse and Pomeroy will have the opportunity to see and hear some of those September 28 at Seeley Theater.

POMEROY––A program that takes family, teachers and community members through a typical teenager's bedroom to reveal indicators of drug use or abuse will be held in Pomeroy Wednesday, September 28 at Seeley Theater from 6-8 p.m. The public is invited to attend this free presentation, "Hidden In Plain Sight."

Garfield County Health District and Pomeroy Partners for Healthy Families is hosting this educational presentation, and Pomeroy Spinners is hosting child care in Maple Hall across the street so that parents with young children are able to attend.

The exhibit is a re-creation of a "typical teenager's bedroom" that teaches parents, teachers, and community members, how to spot signs of drug use or abuse in youth. With this mock teen bedroom, attendees can discover various trends of teen substance use, signs, and lingo that teens are using to "hide" substances in plain sight.

Pomeroy Partners will provide refreshments as the program starts and runs through the dinner hour.

Parents are urged to register for child care and may drop off young children at 5:30 p.m. and pick them up at 8:30 p.m. Register at http://www.eventbrite.com/e/hidden-in-plain-sight-2022-tickets-407140767997.
