Prevention Celebration Roadshow!
This year we are taking our annual prevention celebration on the road! Our team will be traveling through the Lamoille Valley region to visit projects, celebrate successes and share them out with the community. Stay tuned as we reach out to our community partners and schedule a visit to recognize the impact of shared work and celebrate our prevention honorees along the way!
Refusal Skills You Can Use
Our Youth Substance Prevention Coordinator Carrie Patterson has facilitated approximately 20 refusal skills workshops for 6th graders across the Lamoille Valley Region this spring. These interactive workshops help students build practical tools for handling peer pressure, making healthy choices, and saying “no” confidently, especially in situations related to substance use.

April is Alcohol Awareness Month
Every community member can take action right now during Alcohol Awareness Month. Start conversations with the young people in your life about the real risks of alcohol use. Set clear expectations and follow through by modeling responsible behavior. Don’t make excuses for mistakes, instead believe that youth deserve a community that takes their health and safety seriously.
