Talk About Choices 💬 – Open conversations about alcohol, va**ng, ma*****na, and other risks make a big difference.

Plan Fun, Safe Activities 🎨 – Clubs, sports, and hobbies keep teens engaged in positive ways.

Yesterday was 🌍 International Youth Day reminds us that young people aren’t just the leaders of tomorrow, they’re shaping a safer, healthier world right now.

Did you know? Over 90% of adults with a substance use disorder started using before age 18.
(⁠National Center for Drug Abuse Statistics)

That’s why empowering youth with knowledge, resources, and positive peer support is one of the most powerful ways we can prevent drug and alcohol abuse.

Here in Camarillo, our young leaders are making healthy choices, standing up against substance abuse, and creating a culture where saying no is a sign of strength, not weakness. 💪

Let’s keep lifting them up, giving them tools to thrive, and building a community where every teen can reach their full potential, substance-free.

Mental health affects us all—but for many in BIPOC communities, the path to healing is lined with stigma, systemic barriers, and silence.

This month, we raise our voices to say:
🧠 Your mental health matters.
🗣️ Your voice deserves to be heard.
🤝 You are not alone.

Let’s break the silence. Let’s fight the stigma. Let’s build a world where everyone has access to the support they need—without judgment, without barriers.

Everyone deserves to feel like they belong!
