🎨🎧🏃‍♂️ Take Action Thursday with PAWS 🐾

Self-care isn’t selfish—it’s prevention. 💙

When youth are engaged in hobbies, sports, art, music, or any activity they love, they’re building confidence, managing stress, and staying connected. These healthy outlets are powerful protective factors against substance use.

🛠️ Today’s action step:
Try something that brings you joy—or encourage a young person to do the same. Paint, dance, read, write, play ball, go for a walk, breathe. Whatever fills your cup. ☀️

Healthy coping = healthy choices.
Let’s take action for our well-being, one hobby at a time.
