Today's blog is brought to you by Eva - a young high school student who is applying to be a Youth Prevention Influencer. We're confident you'll find some of these wise tips, very helpful...
Thoughts on WHY we should stay drug free:
so people, especially females can walk down the street at night and not feel unsafe.
to increase safety in our community by a reduction in gangs.
to increase safety in our homes with less break-ins and less violence.
to improve the safety and reduce abuse of people working to help those who overdose
to send a clear message on what's normal (rather than normalising illicit substances).
to prevent the next generation from ruining their futures.
Thoughts on HOW we can stay drug free:
send a very clear message on what drugs do to you.
give examples on what happens to people's lives.
tell the life stories of drug related experiences.
share examples of people who are healthy and successful and compare the two extremes.
show images comparing those who've vaped and taken drugs vs healthy bodies.
highlight and explain harmful ingredients and show where they're made.
