Professionals can play an important role in youth-focused prevention

Spread the Word

An easy way to get involved is by learning about local coalitions and resources, then sharing that information with others. You can post on social media, tell your professional network, or share with clients when it makes sense. Spreading the word can help improve our community.

Keep Learning

Our coalitions hold events where you can learn more about local issues and improve your prevention skills. Preventing risky behaviors in young people helps the whole community and can lead to a better local workforce and less strain on public services over time.

Share Your Skills

If you’d like to get more involved, you can join your local coalition. We’re always looking for people to help with workgroups, events, and special projects. Some employers even support this by allowing employees to attend coalition meetings during work hours or provide paid time for volunteer hours.
