The Friday Harbor Youth Coalition is aware of a recent death involving a young person in our community. This loss is tragic and unnecessary, and we know that in a place where everyone knows everyone, the ripples from something like this run deep and wide.

We are committed to turning this moment into action. One of the most important things any of us can do is learn how to recognize an overdose and how to use Narcan (naloxone). It's free, it's simple, and it saves lives.

🔵 Know the signs of an overdose
🔵 Washington's Good Samaritan Law protects you if you call 911
🔵 Find free Narcan near you and learn how to use it

If you're hurting or just need someone to talk to — you are not a burden. Reach out.

📞 Washington Recovery Helpline (free, 24/7): 1-866-789-1511
🆘 Crisis support: call or text 988, or chat at chat.988lifeline.org

These services are 100% confidential. We keep each other here.
Heartfelt condolences to those affected by this loss.

Winter in Washington state can sometimes feel endless and lead to feelings of seasonal depression. Having a simple conversation with your teen over a fun activity can make a difference. Check out these indoor recommendations and share more ideas in the comments!

Members of the Helping Out Teens Society (HOTS) presented to the San Juan County Board of Health alongside other youth prevention groups from Lopez and Orcas Island. Each group shared the work they are doing in their schools and communities, and HOTS split into two to give both a PowerPoint presentation and a hilarious skit performance!

The energy and confidence that these youth groups brought into the room left the Board of Health inspired.

Our goal at FHYC is to continue advocating for health and resilience in our communities and to support groups like HOTS in keeping up their good work.

Fall & winter in the PNW are beautiful, but they can be tough. YAAS! inspired us with their self-care tips, and we want to share a few ideas!

Lean into your community and be intentional about self-care. It’s okay to put sticky notes on your bathroom mirror, ask for support, and take time for yourself. Balance connection with quiet time.

The SJC Youth Community Health Assessment reminds us why this matters: students say our island is great because of strong community support, outdoor fun, and safety. They feel safe in our community, at a friend’s house, or the beach. When it comes to fun, they chose travel, unstructured time, walking and hiking.

And their idea of healthy?

Good habits, being active, eating well, limiting social media, and having community. That’s a great reminder that self-care is about movement, balance, and community. Lean into what makes our island special while caring for yourself this season.

What’s your favorite way to rest and recharge during these short, wet days?

According to the CDC, about 75% of students see v**e ads on TV, social media, or streaming platforms. These products are marketed as colorful, flavorful, and 'less harmful', making them appealing and accessible. Kids are flooded with persuasive marketing, but parents are the strongest defense. Research shows that clear expectations and early conversations reduce the chances of youth va**ng. Start the conversation early, before someone else influences their choices. Take a calm approach, pick the right time, and put yourself in their shoes. And remember, you're not alone! Schools, healthcare providers, and community partners are here to help. The Friday Harbor Youth Coalition is here to empower both parents and youth to make healthy choices.
