Behind every why is a reason to keep going.

Sometimes it’s the people around the table. The conversations being started. The connections being made. The communities coming together.

These moments may not always be the ones everyone sees, but they are part of what keeps this work moving forward.

Behind the work are people. And behind every person is a why.

When something seems different, it can be hard to know what to say or whether you should say anything at all.

Our new When You Notice a Change guide was created to help with that.

It covers changes that may be worth paying attention to, ways to check in without making assumptions, and simple conversation starters you can actually use.

It's a quick resource for parents and caregivers to keep on hand or come back to when they need it.

What keeps you going?

Maybe it’s a person. A purpose. An experience. A community. Or something completely your own.

Whatever it is, it may be part of your why.

As we look ahead to Power of Prevention 2027, we want to hear the reasons that matter to you.

What’s your why?

There's a big difference between:

"What's wrong with you?"

and

"I've noticed you seem a little different lately. How are you doing?"

Both may come from the same place of concern, but they probably won't lead to the same conversation.

When you're worried, start with what you've actually noticed rather than what you think might be happening. Ask a question, give them time to answer, and listen before jumping in with advice.

You don't need the perfect opening line. You just need one that leaves room for an honest answer.

Sometimes your why can be summed up in just two words.

“My spouse.” ❤️

Your why doesn’t have to be a long story. It can be a person, an experience, a purpose, or simply something that means a lot to you.

As we continue our This Is Your Why campaign, we want to hear what matters to you.

A change in behavior can be a sign that something is going on, but it doesn't necessarily tell you what.

Maybe your teen has been sleeping more, their grades have changed, they're spending time with different friends, or they just haven't seemed like themselves lately.

There could be a lot behind those changes, from stress and relationships to school, mental health, or substance use.

Rather than trying to figure it out on your own, check in.

Try something simple like, "I've noticed you seem a little different lately. How are you doing?"

Then give them a chance to answer. You may learn more by listening than you would by guessing.

Florida’s substance laws changed this week. Here’s what to know.

Beginning October 1, 2026, provisions of SB 432:

• Prohibit licensed to***co and ni****ne retailers from possessing, selling, or distributing nitrous oxide on or from their licensed premises. This includes convenience businesses, with exceptions for grocery stores, supermarkets, and finished food products that use nitrous oxide solely as a propellant.

• Establish new criminal penalties for certain xylazine offenses, including trafficking.

The nitrous oxide provision is known as “Meg’s Law.”

For parents, caregivers, and community partners, this is an opportunity to stay informed and start a conversation. Ask what young people have heard about these substances, listen without judgment, and look for reliable information together.

You don't have to have all the answers on your own. If something is weighing on you, reach out to someone you trust. Asking for support is a sign of strength.

My why is…

Maybe it’s your family. Your community. Someone you love. An experience that changed you. A cause you care about. Or a future you want to help create.

There’s no right answer, and it doesn’t have to be complicated.
Sometimes your why is a whole story. Sometimes it’s just two words.

What’s yours?

Have you ever noticed that your child just seems a little different?

Maybe they're quieter than usual, spending time with different friends, struggling at school, or losing interest in something they used to enjoy.

Those changes are worth paying attention to, but they don't always tell you what's going on.

This month, we're talking about what comes next when you notice a change. Pay attention, ask questions, listen to what they have to say, and try not to assume you already know the reason.

You don't have to have all the answers. You just have to be willing to start the conversation.

Notice. Listen. Connect.
