Choosing a college or a university with your child is a big decision.Today, we are continuing the conversation about substance use among college students by talking through how best to choose a school that is serious about substance abuse prevention.

Host and Full House and Fuller House star Jodie Sweetin, is once again joined by special guests: Amy McCarthy, Clinical Social Worker at Boston Children's Hospital, Rich Lucey, who is the Senior Prevention Program Manager of the Community Outreach and Prevention Support section for the DEA, Sally Linowski, who is the Associate Dean of Students Off Campus Student Life and Community Engagement at the University of Massachusetts Amherst, and recent college graduate and star of season 1 of Awkward Conversations Seychelles Mizel.
In this episode, you will hear important advice for how to get the most out of your college campus tours by asking the right questions related to substance use prevention. Seychelles talks about using vlogs to get a better idea of campus life and culture before choosing a school.

KEY TAKEAWAYS:
When touring colleges, be sure to ask about what mental health resources are available and what their policy is on substance use. You can also ask to meet with someone in the Student Affairs office to talk about prevention activities and services. One thing parents can do is make sure that your kids know they can always call if they are struggling with substance abuse or any other issues that they might face at school. Parents should embrace technology, like FaceTime, as a way to stay in touch with your student. It also helps when looking for warning signs of substance abuse so you can see their face, see how they are doing, or even see the people they are hanging out with.
