April is Stress Awareness Month—and one of the most overlooked stressors might be hiding in your v**e.

While va**ng can feel like a quick way to relax, ni****ne actually increases stress over time. It creates a cycle: temporary relief followed by heightened anxiety and cravings. Breaking that cycle by quitting can lead to more stable moods and decreased anxiety
Your body and mind deserve real relief—not a short-term fix.

This month, consider taking a step toward less stress by letting go of what’s quietly adding to it. 💙

Fun flavors. Real consequences.

Big To***co uses candy and fruit flavors to make addiction look harmless. It’s not. Flavors are designed to hook us early and keep us hooked.

We deserve better than being Big To***co’s next customer.

On April 1, stand with youth across the country and demand an end to flavored to***co. ***co

February is Teen Dating Violence Awareness Month!
What is dating abuse?

Dating abuse is a pattern of destructive behaviors that exerts power and control over a dating partner. While we define dating violence as a pattern, that doesn’t mean the first instance of abuse is not dating violence. It just recognizes that dating violence usually involves a series of abusive behaviors over a course of time.

Teen dating violence is more common than many people think. One in three teens in the U.S. will experience physical, sexual, or emotional abuse by someone they are in a relationship with before they become adults. And nearly half (43%) of college women report experiencing violent and abusive dating behaviors. Teen Dating Violence Awareness Month aims to educate young people on the prevalence of dating violence and how they can prevent it.
