Culture, identity and community connection can be powerful protective factors for young people.

Effective prevention listens to Indigenous communities, respects cultural knowledge and supports solutions led by the people they are intended to serve.

This Indigenous Peoples’ Day, we recognize the strength of culturally grounded prevention. 🌿

Stress does not always sound like “I need help.” It may look like anger, withdrawal, changes in sleep or losing interest in things a young person usually enjoys.

Notice the changes. Check in without judgment and help youth find healthy support early. 💬

🌲 Small towns, big impact!

The 2026 Rural Prevention Conference is underway in Wenatchee, bringing students, community members and prevention professionals from across rural Washington together to learn, connect and share ideas for supporting youth.

Yesterday, Wenatchee High School’s Mariachi Huenachi brought music and energy to the conference. 🎶 Today, students from the Cle Elum-Roslyn High School Prevention Club are sharing their perspectives on youth engagement in prevention.

“Being in Prevention Club isn't just about being in a club. For me, it's about speaking out about what you believe in and making a difference,” said Aiden Kaiser, a 10th-grade student at Cle Elum-Roslyn High School.

Throughout the conference, attendees are exchanging prevention strategies and ideas they can bring back to their own communities. 💚

Families can be an important source of strength throughout recovery. 💜

Listening without judgment, offering encouragement and helping someone connect with support can make a meaningful difference. During National Recovery Month, we recognize the families who walk alongside their loved ones with compassion and hope.

Recovery is possible, and support matters.
