Healthy goals don’t have to be big to matter.

Prioritizing communication, emotional wellness, and informed choices helps young people build resilience.

Talking regularly about substances, stress, and peer pressure supports these goals all year long.

01/20/2026

This season often brings pressure to “reinvent” ourselves.

It’s helpful to remind kids and teens that growth doesn’t require perfection.

Small steps, honest conversations, and self-awareness are powerful tools for long-term well-being.

01/16/2026

A new year brings fresh opportunities to strengthen relationships and reinforce healthy habits.

Prevention isn’t about fear, it’s about knowledge, connection, and confidence.

Let’s carry those values forward together! Send this post to a friend, family member, or someone in your community that you think would benefit from following our campaign.

“The choices you make can have lasting consequences.”

Detective Chad Crogan shares an important reminder for young people: using cannabis or alcohol in unsafe ways can lead to life-changing outcomes that can’t always be undone. These aren’t scare tactics, they’re real-world lessons shaped by experience.

That’s why prevention starts with honest, age-appropriate conversations. Talking early and often helps kids understand risk, build decision-making skills, and feel supported when faced with pressure.

Clear messages. Trusted adults. Ongoing conversations.
That’s how we help young people make smart, safe choices!
