This month, Kristina Canfield, MA, will facilitate a session called "Bridging Generations: Understanding Substance Use, Stigma, and Technology’s Role Among Emerging Adults and Older Adults" Meeting ID: 856 5900 1871 Passcode: 178856 Substance use and mental health challenges impact individuals across the lifespan, yet emerging adults (18–25) and older adults (50+) experience unique risks, barriers, and opportunities for support. This session explores key similarities and differences between these age groups, with a focus on stigma, communication styles, and the growing influence of technology and digital media on substance use, mental health perceptions, and help-seeking behaviors. Participants will gain practical strategies for engaging both generations in meaningful conversations, breaking down stigma, and tailoring prevention and intervention approaches that resonate across age groups. #CollegiateRecovery #StudentsInRecovery #RecoveryInHigherEd #ARHE #StudentRecovery #StaffChat #TuesdayStaffChat #RecoveryMonth #RecoveryMonth2026
