The special rollout screening of our new program will be held on February 18th from 4:30-7:00 pm at the Harmon Burns theater in Building 930 on the Franklin Templeton Campus.

In collaboration with Harvard McLean Hospital, AES has developed a four-part video program targeting high school students called “Should Susan Drink?” A private screening with 30 high school students will gather to provide input and suggestions on rolling out the program to schools in the Bay Area in the Fall. The program is a neuroscience-based video series that follows a high school student through three scientific experiments to determine her personal risk for addiction as she decides whether to drink at a party.

Dr. Silveri, Associate Professor of Psychiatry at Harvard Medical School, will be attending to support the content delivery. If you are interested in attending, scan the QR code displayed in the flyer below or contact Isaac Braunstein at ibraunstein@addictioneducationsociety.org
