One Prevention Project™ high school student shared that the program’s biggest impact was learning how to spot grooming and recognize red flags before getting caught in a dangerous situation.

That’s the power of prevention education. When young people understand what exploitation can look like, they are better equipped to recognize unhealthy situations and seek help.

Knowledge can be a powerful layer of protection.

This school year, try incorporating healthy habits like:

✔️ Mindfulness
✔️ Grounding exercises

Taking care of your mental health is an important part of staying safe, building resilience, and thriving both inside and outside the classroom.
