PREVENTION INITIATIVES

Prevention Initiatives

Foundation for Youth Prevention Initiatives works collaboratively with community members, coalitions, and partners to promote positive mental health and address substance abuse and misuse in Bartholomew County. Funded through the State of Indiana Division of Mental Health and Addictions and the Office of National Drug Control Policy, Foundation for Youth Prevention Initiatives works to raise awareness and provide support to address the pressing needs and risks faced throughout the community. This work is at the forefront of our vision for “A vibrant, healthy community where all individuals are empowered to lead mentally, physically, and socially rewarding lives.”

DID YOU KNOW?
Children of parents who talk to their teens regularly about drugs are 42% less likely to use drugs than those who don’t; yet, only a quarter of teens report having these conversations.

Red Ribbon Week® (October 23-31), the oldest and largest drug prevention campaign in the nation, is your opportunity to get the ongoing conversation started. This year’s theme is Life Is A Puzzle, Solve It Drug Free.™ Visit www.redribbon.org to learn more about Red Ribbon Week® and get tips for talking to your kids about drugs. The life you save may be that of your own child or a dear friend.

Talk. They Hear You.
