Why Prevention Matters:
According to the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, prevention helps people develop the knowledge, attitudes, and skills they need to make good choices or change harmful behaviors. Prevention reduces the risk of behavioral health issues and the likelihood of substance abuse. The Rhode Island Regional Coalitions is a unified group dedicated to educating parents, children, and the entire community about evidence-based prevention skills and the importance of healthy lifestyle choices.

EXCUSE YOURSELF. On Tuesday and Wednesday morning, the "Excuse Yourself" presentation was shown to two different Health classes at Narragansett High School. Becky White, the program coordinator for Youth Driven, created this presentation to teach students about the dangers of alcohol and other substances while driving, and give them the tools to excuse themselves from getting into a car with an impaired driver. Thank you to the students who were great participants, and to Ms. Messier who had the presentation shown in both her classes. A GREAT job to Becky! Be sure to you to the Youth Driven Facebook page to learn all about the program and be sure to sign up for the Youth Driven Summit this summer! Registration begins February 1st. youthdriven.org ![]()
