Drug awareness in my city

Avatar: Community Member Community Member

What problem would you like to solve?

The problem that needs to be solve is the drug issues in our community

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

This is important to solve because the drug issues are getting too way out of hand. Many youths are now getting access to drugs and other substances at such a very young age that they are not aware of the damage that it is doing to their systems. This is relevant for the community because people have been becoming ill and dying from an increase in drug use.

What idea do you have to address the problem?

Creating a program which educates the youth on all drugs and substances and what is the side effects to that is very important. It is also very important to have a service that allows the youth to go there to get clean if they are looking to stop drugs at a certain age.

Who would that help?

Youth
