Events Expanding Prevention In Your Community

One way to help others learn more about Prevention 5 and it's mission is by attending events in your community. Become a face people recognize, a face that makes them want to 'strive to raise awareness on substance use, mental health, and the overall wellness of the community'!


(If your agency has an event coming up or you know of an event you would like Prevention 5 to be involved in, please email prevention5coalition@gmail.com)


There are youth in your area that need YOU!

Can you spend 4 hours a month hanging out with a youth doing things you already like to do with a youth in your community? Mentoring is Simple! Become a mentor to a youth like Kathy. Contact mentoring@helpingservices.org or visit www.helpingservices.org/youth-mentoring


YOUTH GROUPS

High school youth work on many initiatives to prevent and end alcohol, tobacco, and other drug use. Their efforts—such as Red Ribbon Week, the Great American Smokeout, Drug Facts Week, Through with Chew Week, and Kick Butts Day—promote awareness and education among their peers and community.
