HC DrugFree, a nonprofit organization that seeks to empower the Howard County community to raise drug-free teens, co-sponsored by the National Alliance on Mental Illness, will feature a local lawyer who will describe how he abused drugs and alcohol to handle his emotions and how he recovered. In addition, a panel comprising a high school guidance counselor, social worker and medical expert will discuss normal teenage emotions and when families should seek help.

The program is free, open to parents and teenagers, and requires no registration.
