Prevention Aims to Protect Our Future!
Every healthy community begins with prevention — the choice to act before harm happens. At Cincinnati for H.O.P.E. Coalition, we believe prevention is not just about saying no to drugs or alcohol — it’s about saying yes to life, to wellness, and to hope.
Prevention aims to:
✅ Prevent the initiation of substance use.
✅ Prevent the progression of substance use into a disorder.
✅ Prevent the consequences that come with substance misuse.
When we strengthen protective factors — through education, connection, and opportunity — we help our youth and families thrive. Prevention gives our community the power to build safer schools, stronger families, and brighter futures.
💬 Today, let’s celebrate those who make prevention possible — teachers, parents, mentors, youth leaders, and YOU. Every conversation, every act of care, and every moment of awareness makes a difference.
💚 Together, we are changing the story — one choice, one day, one community at a time.
