"I hear people say 'Well, it's natural.' or 'It's just weed.'... It stopped being 'just weed' a long time ago." Dr. Jason Kilmer joins High School junior Gavin to discuss marijuana prevention among young people, healthy coping tips to deal with stress, and the real science behind marijuana use. An Associate Professor in Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences at the University of Washington, who consults with the Washington State Department of Health on youth-centered programs like their YOU CAN campaign, Dr. Kilmer is a nationally recognized expert in the field of drug prevention research and education.  Presented by C89.5 in partnership with Seattle Children's with support from the Washington State Department of Health, Coping 101 is led by students in Nathan Hale High School's Podcast Club with a mission to destigmatize mental health from a teen's perspective. The series is made possible with local support from 4Culture, Hansmire Builders, Audian, and Compass Health - NW Washington's Behavioral Healthcare leader. No matter our age or background we all face challenges, and there are healthy ways to cope.
