MCOE holds a license for Screenagers: Under the Influence made possible through partnerships with Marin County Health and Human Services and Marin Healthy Youth Partnerships. All public middle and high schools in Marin County have FREE access to the film, which explore the impacts of the digital world on youth's development, mental health, and decision-making in relation to substances.
