We are incredibly proud to celebrate the completion of our 2nd Co- Hort of Project YOUR (Youth Understanding Overdose Risks) 6-week training!

Over the past six weeks, our youth participants showed up with curiosity, courage, and commitment, gaining critical knowledge and real-life skills to help protect themselves and their communities.

Throughout the training, participants were equipped with education on: 1. Overdose recognition, response, and prevention 2. Harm-reduction strategies, including naloxone awareness 3. HIV 101 and PrEP education 4. Peer support, leadership, and advocacy skills

These young leaders are now prepared to share what they’ve learned, reduce stigma, and be powerful voices for health, safety, and compassion among their peers.

Thank you to our youth, facilitators, and community partners for making this cohort such a success. This is how we build safer, healthier futures together.
