Parents will be invited to explore a display designed to look like a typical teenagers' bedroom -- but scattered with items that may indicate the teen is involved in risky behavior, from substance abuse to eating disorders to drinking and sexual activity.

The program is free and open to adults. No youths will be admitted.
