Who qualifies?

This FREE program is available to students attending Ed White High, A Community Partnership School in Jacksonville. While students who receive citations for being in possession of cannabis at school will be referred, parents and teachers can also self-refer their teens.

What to expect?

We will work with you to navigate the treatment process. During or after school* we’ll connect via counseling sessions to explore the “why” behind your desire to take part in marijuana use and the dangers behind it, as well as alternatives for managing emotions and unknowns.

*Other accommodations can be made to fit your family’s needs.

What are signs my child is using cannabis?

• Smelling like marijuana (note, some vapes can smell sweet like candy)
• Red or bloodshot eyes
• Delayed reaction times
• Mood swings
• Laziness and tiredness
• The presence of marijuana related paraphernalia
• Paranoia or anxiousness
• Hunger or the “munchies”

What should I do if they are?

Finding out your child is using cannabis will likely stir up strong emotions, but your reaction may be a deciding factor in how you’ll be able to help them.

As with any drug, the effects of marijuana can be addictive. While some teenagers may try marijuana once and never touch it again, others may develop an addiction that can have a negative impact on the rest of their life.

If you find these issues arise and your teen is a student at Ed White High School, A Community Partnership School, it is recommended that you seek out treatment for your teen by contacting us at the email below.
