When over half of youth in our community report moderate to high psychological distress…When 1 out of 3 youth in our community try alcohol by the time they graduate…When 1 out of 4 youth in our community try vapes and marijuana by the time they graduate…Youth mental health and substance use are community problems.
One conversation, one curriculum, one awareness event isn’t going to make substantial change. Be the Change Partners understand when everyone is part of the solution, then the environment we create for youth changes.
