So true!! Let’s treat each other with respect, dignity and compassion!

Let’s create a safe and compassionate space where people can share their heartache, pain, and struggles without fear of judgment. We don’t have to have all the answers to listen with kindness. Honest, open conversations can remind someone they’re not alone and help them reach for support when life feels unbearable. 💚🩷💚

The Teen Prevention Interns had a busy weekend and had the opportunity to connect with younger youth. They shared facts about substance use, va**ng and how to stay healthy at Soberfest on Saturday!! The importance of these events is connection and awareness!!

A huge thank you to Warm Cookies of the Revolution Future Town, the Town of Center, Center Consolidated School District, and the Center Viking Youth Club for collaborating with the SLV Teen Prevention Coalition!! Yesterday’s event was absolutely heartwarming! Seeing elementary youth connect and interact with the Teen Prevention Interns was the absolute best!! The teens did a presentation about goals, supported the younger youth in a pumpkin painting activity, and one of our teens also played guitar!! Overall the event was a success!!

Being in community and making connections are important protective factors and protective factors mitigate risk factors to not only substance use but other undesirable outcomes such as violence, mental health issues, etc…Our amazing Teen Prevention Interns made an impact at yesterday’s event!

Please follow, like and share the amazing work our teens are doing in their community!!

They say, “it takes a village to raise a child”…and we’re creating a village of youth and adults that support each other. It’s exciting to see our village growing with both!! Thank you everyone who is helping to guide and support the Teen Prevention Interns! We appreciate you!!! ☺️❤️
