The North Carolina Department of Justice is organizing a series of webinars for parents, caregivers, and those who work with youth that will begin this fall. This webinar series is a direct result of conversations I had earlier this year with leaders, including educators, across the state about the various challenges facing our youth and strategies to help keep them safe.
This four-part webinar series – Protecting the Next Generation of North Carolinians – will address a different important topic each session. We’ll convene experts to provide background information and practical tips to help keep NC kids healthy and safe. We’ll cover topics including online dangers for youth, safe gun storage, and youth substance use.
