👐 Prevention is a shared responsibility.
Teachers, parents, counsellors, coaches, and friends all play a role.
Prevention works best when every adult in a young person’s life is on the same page and models healthy choices.
Together, we create the environment for youth to thrive.

When parents and communities work together, prevention begins to flourish — long before risks appear.
