Healthy Choices at Every Stage: High School, College & Beyond

Season 3, Ep. 4 | Healthy Choices at Every Stage: High School, College & BeyondIn this episode, hosts Michelle and Reyna sit down with Dr. Jason Kilmer, professor at the University of Washington and nationally recognized leader in college substance use prevention. With decades of experience working with college students across the country, Dr. Kilmer brings a powerful perspective on the challenges, opportunities, and evidence-based strategies that help students make healthy choices.Together, we explore the similarities and differences between prevention work in K–12 settings and the approaches used on college campuses. Dr. Kilmer breaks down the pressures college students face around alcohol, cannabis, and other substances; the role of peers and campus culture; and how student leaders can help shift norms toward healthier, safer behaviors.We also dive into how peer-to-peer education translates to a college environment, the impact of stigma, how prevention programming is evaluated, and what high school students can do now to stay substance-free and continue prevention leadership when they head off to college.Whether you’re a student, parent, educator, or prevention professional, this conversation offers valuable insight into what truly supports young people as they transition into adulthood.Listen now on your favorite platform:YouTube: https://bit.ly/CoffeeandClarityYoutubeApple: https://bit.ly/CoffeeandClarityAppleiHeartRadio: https://bit.ly/CoffeeandClarityiHeartAudible: https://bit.ly/AudibleCoffeeandClarityAmazon: https://bit.ly/AmazonCoffeeandClaritySpotify: https://bit.ly/SpotifyCoffeeandClarityLearn more or support our work at www.empowermartin.comFor sponsorship or guest opportunities, contact [email protected] podcast is made possible by grants from the ONDCP Drug-Free Communities Support Program and the Schmeekle Foundation.Like, subscribe, and share to stay part of the conversation!
