Parents, Teens Work Together to Thwart Substance Abuse

A new, free program at Torrance Memorial Hospital is helping parents intervene in teen substance use before the problem becomes serious. Father-daughter duo Geoff and Lauren Scheuber have been attending the sessions as a part of Lauren’s probation for a DUI. She says it’s a place where you can “be yourself, tell your story, share your experience, and then learn from everybody around you.” Dr. Bruce Hensel reports for the NBC4 News at 5 p.m. on March 1, 2013.
