Prevention in Action!!! Every table, every handshake, every conversation, it all tells a prevention story. 💙

Over the past few weeks, our Henrico Prevention Services team has been out in the community sharing resources, listening to stories, and reminding residents that prevention works when we all play a part.

🗣 What’s your prevention story?
Whether it’s checking on a friend, locking up medications, or modeling healthy choices for your family, your actions matter more than you know.

👀 Did you know? Most youth in our community don’t use substances, even though it can sometimes seem like everyone is.

When we share the facts and celebrate healthy choices, we help teens feel empowered to do the same. 💬

Prevention works when we strengthen what protects us — and reduce what puts us at risk.

From individuals to families, schools to entire communities, every positive choice and connection matters. 💙

Let’s keep building a stronger, healthier Henrico together.
