Substance Use and Youth: What to Know and How to Help
Adolescence is a time of exploration—and sometimes that includes experimenting with substances. This session gives parents, educators, and caring adults the practical tools to recognize early warning signs, understand what's driving today's teen substance use trends, and, most importantly, how to start conversations that actually work.
You'll learn:
What substance use looks like now (it's not what it was when we were teens)
Red flags vs. normal teenage behavior—knowing the difference
How to talk about substance use in ways that keep communication open instead of shutting it down
When to be concerned and where to turn for help
Developmentally-appropriate language that reduces shame and builds trust
Whether you're navigating these issues for the first time or looking for better ways to connect with the young people in your life, this session will equip you with evidence-based strategies grounded in real experiences from schools and clinical settings.
Who should attend: Parents, teachers, coaches, youth group leaders, family members, and anyone who cares about supporting young people through one of adolescence's toughest challenges.

Camp Ready: Preparing Your Child (and Yourself) for the Emotional Journey of Camp
As families prepare for summer camp, it's essential to recognize that camp is more than activities and fun—it's a transformative developmental experience that stretches new emotional muscles. Join No Shame On U and Consulting Camp LLC for an essential conversation about the emotional landscape of overnight camp and how to support your child's mental health.
In this session, we'll explore:
Common mental health experiences at camp (homesickness, anxiety, social challenges) and why they're a normal part of growth
How to evaluate camp fit through a mental health lens—asking the right questions about emotional support systems, staff training, and communication protocols
Practical strategies to prepare your child emotionally, including what to discuss before they go and how to build resilience tools
Healthy communication boundaries that support independence while staying connected
How to manage your own emotions as a parent during separation
Whether you're a first-time camp family or a seasoned camp parent, you'll leave with actionable tools to partner with your child's camp community and support both your child's growth and your own well-being throughout the camp experience.
Presented by: Dr. Anat S. Geva, Director of Strategic Initiatives, No Shame On U, and Jamie Sirkin, LCSW, Camp Director & Child Well-Being Advocate, Founder of Consulting Camp LLC

The critical gut-brain connection and why your digestive system is often the first alarm bell for trauma
How trauma creates negative feedback loops leading to anxiety, depression, IBS, and chronic pain
You'll walk away with actionable solutions to reduce stress perception through nutrition and a deeper understanding of your mind-body connection
Who This Session Is For:
This session is designed to focus on teens and young adults up to 25 who have experienced childhood or adult trauma, those living with chronic stress and its physical manifestations, people dealing with food trauma and disordered eating patterns, anyone seeking alternatives or complements to traditional talk therapy, and individuals experiencing gut-brain axis issues like anxiety, depression, or digestive problems.
