Department of Justice Webinar Series: Protecting the Next Generation of North Carolinians

The North Carolina Department of Justice and Attorney General Josh Stein are working hard to keep kids safe. 

Youth today face a variety of challenges – some that may be familiar to parents and many that simply did not exist in generations past, before fentanyl, cell phones, and social media.

Earlier this year, Attorney General Stein convened leaders from across North Carolina to discuss the challenges facing our youth and strategies to help keep them safe – and following that event, several parents noted that they wished there was a way to share this important information with others who are concerned about our kids. To do so, the NC Department of Justice is organizing a series of webinars targeted to parents, caregivers, and those who work with youth.

This series – Protecting the Next Generation of North Carolinians – will address four specific topics, one per each brief session, and at each, we’ll convene experts to provide background information and practical tips to help keep NC kids healthy and safe. We’ll cover topics including online dangers for youth, safe gun storage, and youth substance use. More information on the series is available here. 

The series kicks off in October with:

Keeping Kids Safe at School, at Home, and in our Communities with Safe Gun Storage.

Wednesday, October 4 from 11:30 a.m. – 12:15 p.m.

Speakers include:

• NC Department of Public Safety Deputy Secretary William Lassiter,
• Raleigh Police Department Lieutenant Billy Gartin
• Parent advocate Baker Burleson
• Attorney General Josh Stein
