Early prevention is critical.
Prevention can help stop problems before they begin. By starting early, we can strengthen protective factors, reduce risk factors, and assist young people, families, and communities in making healthy decisions.
Prevention is not about individual choices. It also means creating supportive families, neighborhoods, and giving young people opportunities to thrive.
