Marin Healthy Youth Partnerships is excited to be hosting the premiere screening of Screenagers Under The Influence: Addressing Vaping, Drugs, and Alcohol in the Digital Age. The hour-long film will be followed by a Q&A with the filmmakers Delaney Ruston, MD and Lisa Tabb. The post-screening panel will also include local youth, educators, and experts that are featured in the film.

Screenagers Under The Influence, the third feature documentary in the Screenagers trilogy, delves into how the tech revolution has reshaped adolescence and its effects on substance use. The film debunks myths and depicts strategies parents and schools can use to encourage healthy decision-making, support teen mental health, set limits, and create healthy home environments. The film also includes many ways young people are using their wisdom and strength to help each other and themselves through this complicated terrain around substance use.

There will be a second screening at the Rafael Theater on April 25 hosted by Tamalpais Union High School District
