🍃 Ma*****na & Youth: The Facts Matter

📊 The brain develops until age 25.
Ma*****na use during this time can impact memory, focus, and decision-making.

📊 1 in 6 teens who start using before age 18 will develop a cannabis use disorder.

📊 Today’s ma*****na products are significantly more potent than in the past.

Prevention starts with awareness.
Healthy communities are built on informed choices.

02/14/2026

When we believe in ourselves, we’re more likely to make healthy choices, speak up, and step away from situations that don’t feel right.
Prevention starts with self-worth. 💖

Children of addiction often grow up too fast, learning how to survive instead of how to be kids.

During Children of Addiction Awareness Week, we’re shining a light on the silent strength of young people impacted by substance use in their families and reminding them they are not alone, not invisible, and not to blame.

Awareness leads to compassion. Compassion leads to prevention. 💛

A healthy goal for the new year doesn’t have to be big.
It can be as simple as choosing one substance-free way to cope with stress, like:

• going for a walk
• listening to music
• journaling
• calling a friend
• taking a few deep breaths

Small coping skills add up and they matter.
