Substance use resources for children, youth and families
Substance use among children and youth is a pressing concern with far-reaching implications. It not only jeopardizes their physical health but also disrupts their emotional and social development.
Young individuals are particularly vulnerable to the allure of substances, making early intervention and education crucial. Understanding the root causes, recognizing warning signs, and providing appropriate support are vital steps in safeguarding the well-being and future of our children and youth.
