Even though the weather wasn’t the best, our youth still showed up and put in the work. We walked through the Elizabeth Port area completing an environmental scan and having real conversations about what they see in their community.
Many of the youth described this area as a hotspot for substance use, sharing concerns about seeing to***co and other substances left behind in spaces where young children, families, and community members walk every day — especially during nice weather.
We also discussed ways to create positive change, including the possibility of working with the town to install To***co-Free signs throughout the area to help spread awareness and encourage healthier community spaces. Small conversations can lead to big changes 💭
