Last month, Prevention Team staff were busy in schools with our curriculum and some really important info for the kiddos and teens.

We navigated state testing, long weekends, and end of year trips to keep the conversations alive around what matters to thrive and survive, talking about communication, decision makings, energy drinks, and digital safety.

Our prevention counselors met with students having a bad day, working on their goals, or preparing for a summer away from their school supports.

Our parent coach met with some really big-hearted parents to talk about how to best support their kids and how to have conversation around some tricky subjects.

We are a small team in a few schools that do important work. Ask the kids in your house if they know us!

Gummies and other junk food dupes have been a way for a new population of people to experiment with Cannabis(Marijuana) or help with sleep. We know that if you're over 21, w**d is legal- but like all things in life- it's not risk free. In our older adult population, be cognizant of the potential impact on balance and fall risk. Be mindful of dosage and surroundings once use is started.
