Presenters & Partners: Heather & Randy Bacchus, Cook County Public Health, & Human Services, ISD 166 - Cook County Schools, and Great Expectations School

Understanding High-Potency Cannabis & Its Impact on Teens – A Conversation with Heather & Randy Bacchus

Parents, grandparents, caregivers, and community members are invited to join Heather and Randy Bacchus as they share their family’s story and shed light on the effects of high-potency cannabis on the developing teen brain. After losing their son to cannabis-induced psychosis and suicide, they have dedicated themselves to educating others about the potential risks of today’s cannabis and empowering youth and families with knowledge and support - as well as reminder them that they are important, valued, and loved.

This event is an opportunity to ask questions, gain insights, and prepare for meaningful conversations with the young people in your life. Local schools will be offering the Be Extrodinary, Be You presentation to teens the following day, making this a valuable chance for adults to engage with the topic in advance.

Before the presentation, join us for a social hour anytime between 5:00–6:00pm, where a light Subway dinner will be provided for all attendees.

Contact the Cook County YMCA to learn more about 'Date Night' childcare during and after this event.
