OLA of Eastern Long Island and WLIW-FM present a special three-part series of In Conversation to raise awareness about addiction and mental health in teens and young adults. OLA Executive Director Minerva Perez spoke with East End teens, parents, and a local mental health care provider to explore the topic from a range of perspectives and help families find prevention and treatment resources right here in our community.
Part 2 continues with East End parents Elena Krotman and Triste. In separate conversations, they open up about their experiences raising teenagers, and how they strive to help their adolescent children become adults with healthy coping skills.
