NVRH and Umbrella Present Virtual Presentation on Youth Cannabis Use
ST. JOHNSBURY, VT (June 8, 2022) – Northeastern Vermont Regional Hospital (NVRH) and Umbrella are excited to announce a virtual presentation on the impacts of youth cannabis use on June 29, 2022, 6 – 7:00 p.m. This presentation will give parents and caregivers the tools necessary to recognize the signs and symptoms of youth cannabis use, understand protective factors, learn the importance of safe storage and more.
“With the retail sale of cannabis coming to Vermont, it is important for adults to understand how to mitigate the risk for youth,” NVRH Director of Substance Misuse Cheryl Chandler said.

Currently, Rogers works for Kennebec Behavioral Health as Director of Substance Use Prevention and Grant Services and works with Somerset Public Health as the Drug Free Communities Program Coordinator.
