Addiction prevention workshops for adolescents

What problem would you like to solve?

High risk of adolescents engaging in the use of damaging substances.

Why is it important to solve? Why is it relevant for the community?

Adolescents are in a very delicate and important stage of their lives, and we see more support is needed in a safe space to strengthen their awareness and self-esteem, and their capacity to make healthy choices that will benefit them long-term.

What idea do you have to address the problem?

Establish a youth-friendly and safe space in the community (such as Unidad y Fe) where _with the support of competent facilitators- youth can explore the truth about substance abuse dangers and consequences, as well as develop self-love and the capacity to make healthy choices.

Who would that help?

Youth, families, and communities.

What neighborhood would benefit from your idea?
