Marin County youth have consistently higher than average rates of substance use compared to the state and national averages. There are a number of factors that contribute to this: access, normalization, community norms and policy all play a part. 

This documentary film explores the reasons, but also shares the successful strategies of a community that found a solution. Iceland had nearly identical rates of underage alcohol use to Marin and they were able to successfully turn it around and create a healthy, thriving environment for youth.

Please join us for a virtual screening of this thought-provoking film and community discussion with an expert panel including Harvey Milkman, the scientist who helped develop the Icelandic Model, Maite Durán from Alcohol Justice, and local high school student, Sophie Taubman.
