Did you know? Resarch shows that young people who have more positive experiences growing up are:

* More likely to 𝐠𝐫𝐚𝐝𝐮𝐚𝐭𝐞 𝐜𝐨𝐥𝐥𝐞𝐠𝐞
* More likely to 𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐧 𝐡𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐞𝐫 𝐢𝐧𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐬
* Less likely to 𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐮𝐠𝐠𝐥𝐞 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐝𝐞𝐩𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐨𝐧
* More likely to have 𝐠𝐨𝐨𝐝 𝐩𝐡𝐲𝐬𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐥 𝐡𝐞𝐚𝐥𝐭𝐡

Last week, Amplify Program Manager and HOPE Trainer Sam Forbes, along with Su***de Prevention Program Manager Nicole Bengston, attended CREC Bloomfield’s “Be Kind to Your Mind” Day.

We had dozens of meaningful interactions with youth in grades 6–12—who loved spinning the wheel and reflecting on questions like:

✨ What characteristics make for a trusted adult?
✨ What is something you do that makes you feel proud?

By the end of the day, our Building Blocks board was filled with their insights, experiences, and strengths.

Here’s the message we shared:
Be intentional about recognizing and building positive experiences. The research shows that the more of these experiences you have, the more likely you are to:

• Graduate college
• Earn higher income
• Experience less depression
• Reduce your risk for chronic disease

Huge shoutout to CREC for creating space to prioritize youth mental health and well-being—we love seeing a full day dedicated to helping young people thrive. 💛

Amplify values continuing education and strengthening our prevention networks. 🌟 We are proud to share that Partnership for Success (PFS) Coalition Leaders, Abbie Gallagher and Peyton Beiter, recently traveled to Baltimore, Maryland to attend the National Center on Youth Prevention, Treatment, and Recovery Conference.

This national event brings together stakeholders, practitioners, and community leaders from across the country to address one of the most pressing public health issues facing young people today: alcohol and other drug use.

We are excited to welcome Abbie and Peyton back and look forward to learning from the valuable insights and knowledge they gained to help strengthen prevention efforts in our community!

HOPE moment for Youth:

Did you know that all experiences affect your brain and body?
While you may hear a lot about how negative things can
impact you (like drugs, alcohol, and unsafe driving), research
shows that certain types of positive experiences can actually
help you be a healthier adult. Scroll to learn more!
