A middle-aged woman with short gray hair and a young man in a green hoodie sit at a table, holding hands and engaging in a serious conversation. The woman wears a thick teal sweater, and the young man looks down at their hands with a concerned expression. A cup of coffee is on the table. The background shows a modern living room with a red couch and abstract artwork on the wall. The image includes text about an in-person event titled 'Cannabis and Young Minds: What Parents and Families Should Know' scheduled for Wednesday, 26 March 2025. A red banner in the top right corner states 'IN-PERSON EVENT,' and a circular badge on the right highlights a world ranking for health and well-being. The bottom of the image includes the website 'rcsi.com/MyHealth.'

This free, in-person event will explore how #cannabis affects brain development and mental health in young people.
