The Youth Council is hosting an Opioid and Substance Abuse Health Summit to address the growing concerns surrounding opioid and substance abuse within our community, particularly among youth. This summit aims to provide young people with crucial information about the dangers of addiction, while promoting healthy coping mechanisms and support systems. By engaging youth in meaningful discussions, workshops, and presentations led by healthcare professionals, community leaders, and individuals with lived experiences, we hope to empower our youth to make informed decisions and take an active role in fostering a healthier, substance-free future for themselves and their peers.
Through this initiative, the Youth Council seeks to create a safe space for education, dialogue, and community connection, building awareness of the resources available to prevent and combat substance abuse. We are committed to helping our youth navigate these challenges and become advocates for positive change in our community.
