Presented By: Michigan Union Ticket Office (MUTO)
Road Trip! A Live Stage Production and Community Conversation
Presented by HBOM and OPEN
Overview:
Join us for a kickoff of the Parental Advisory Toolkit and our live stage performance: Road Trip!
We are proud to launch Parental Advisory: A toolkit for modern families to support youth substance use prevention, from your friends at OPEN and HBOM.
About Road Trip:
Car rides and couch time can be great opportunities for conversation. A Michigan family is driving Up North and you are in the backseat in our production of Road Trip: A Parental Advisory Initiative.
Road Trip is presented in three acts, with six fantastic professional actors playing the role of parent and youth.
Throughout the show, a track list of popular songs and shows will be played, and the cast will press pause to discuss the song or show's portrayal of drugs and alcohol. Our goal is for you to feel like you could see yourself starting similar conversations with your children. Even if they don’t engage right away, it doesn’t mean they didn’t hear you. You are planting important seeds that can really make a difference.
After the performance, we will have an open discussion and Q&A with three expert panelists and the Parental Advisory/HBOM/OPEN team. Panelists include:
Charles Graham, PhD, LCSW, University of Michigan, Adolescent Addiction Disorder Expert
John Steffenson, C. S. Mott Children's Hospital, Michigan Medicine, Music and Occupational Therapist
Vicki Kavanaugh, CPS, Arbor Circle, Prevention Manager, Prevention and Advocacy Division
About Parental Advisory:
Today’s caregivers are raising young people in a world with social media, high-potency legal cannabis, vaping devices, counterfeit or poisoned pills and increasing concerns about youth mental health. Many parents grew up in simpler times, when warnings and campaigns focused on fears rather than honest conversation.
The world has changed, but one thing has not: Young people need trusted adults who listen, stay informed, set clear boundaries, and stand beside them when things get hard.
Parental Advisory is here to help you and your family navigate the modern world of substance use prevention. Visit www.miparentaladvisory.org to find the complete toolkit.
