WEBINAR ON DEMAND 
Duration: 1 hour

Substance use is a major barrier to student success. Yet even with increased awareness, an influx of legislative mandates, and enhanced funding opportunities, many K-12 school districts struggle with adequately preparing students to handle real-life situations involving alcohol and drugs. 

Join Kognito and Education Dive for an informative panel discussion with mental health and youth engagement experts to learn how virtual simulations can empower students with the critical skills they need to manage difficult, real-life substance-use situations. We’ll take a look at:

• Current issues surrounding substance use prevention in schools
• Proven effectiveness of virtual practice conversations in equipping students with the necessary tools to navigate school and life
• How Kognito’s new simulation, Friend2Friend: Substance Use Prevention, can help districts empower their students
