A.N.T.s are everywhere... and no, we’re not talking about the tiny bugs outside. Automatic Negative Thoughts can crawl into our minds and say things like “I can’t,” “I’m not good enough,” or “I’ll never get this right.”

The good news? You don’t have to let the A.N.T.s take over. Our A.N.T. Eaters youth leaders are learning how to spot those sneaky thoughts and squash them before they get too comfortable.

As we continue recognizing National Prevention Week, today we are highlighting the role prevention coalitions play in building healthier and more connected communities.

A substance use prevention coalition is made up of community members, organizations, schools, parents, youth, and leaders working together to support prevention through education, connection, and community support. Prevention coalitions focus on reducing risk factors and strengthening protective factors before substance use becomes a larger concern.

Monster Soup Society is a youth-led coalition supported by The Adults in the Room and our Be the Change Partners, who help empower youth leaders as they work toward positive community change.

National Prevention Week is a time to recognize the importance of supporting healthy communities, positive coping skills, and youth well-being.

Prevention starts with connection. Primary prevention focuses on supporting young people early by helping build healthy coping skills, strong support systems, and environments where youth feel safe, valued, heard, and connected. Small moments of encouragement, inclusion, and support can make a meaningful difference over time.

Prevention can look like creating welcoming spaces, having open conversations, building trusted relationships, and making sure youth know they do not have to navigate challenges alone. Supporting youth well-being starts with community, connection, and care.

Monster Soup Society is a youth-led coalition focused on prevention, youth leadership, and creating supportive spaces where young people feel connected and empowered.

In our final ANTeaters workshop, Upstairs/Downstairs Brain, youth explored how emotions, reactions, and decision-making all connect. The goal is to help youth build practical coping tools and better understand themselves and others.

We’re incredibly proud of our youth leaders for the heart, time, and energy they’ve poured into these workshops. Their willingness to show up for their peers, start meaningful conversations, and help create healthier coping skills in their communities has made a real impact.

Creating space for growth, honesty, and healthier ways to cope.

Monster Soup Society youth are leading the way by having the difficult, but important conversations that help their peers be ready should they experience a mental health crisis.

Our youth volunteer an hour a week so they can learn about these topics and prepare to educate their communities.

On top of the other great work they do, these Be the Change partners are helping Monster Soup Society youth spread this coping skill to parents and other adults throughout our community so that we can improve youth emotional wellbeing.
