Welcome to Bridging the Gap, presented by Orange Partnership and airing on 97.9 The Hill and Chapelboro.com!

This month, enjoy a conversation with Jenny Robins, Data Analyst and parent with Orange Partnership, and Ava Loren, a Senior at UNC and Intern with ADAPT.

There are many legal products on the market today that appeal to younger consumers but can be harmful to their health and development.  Starting a conversation with your child to educate them and help them navigate this tricky terrain can be hard to do.

Listen to the full conversation between 97.9 The Hill’s Brighton McConnell, Jenny Robins, and Ava Loren as they discuss specific marketing tactics used to appeal to young people, why the products themselves can be harmful and problematic, and how parents can help dispel some common misconceptions.
