📍 Legacy in D.C.!
Legacy Behavioral Health’s Prevention Team was honored to be in Washington, D.C. for SAMHSA’s 22nd Annual Prevention Day, joining prevention leaders from across the country.

Our team proudly partners with youth-centered groups and organizations to empower young people with real facts and real skills—helping them make healthy choices and say no to va**ng, alcohol, and ma*****na. Prevention starts early, and we’re committed to protecting the future, one conversation at a time. 💙✨
