Preserving Potential

On this week’s episode of The PrevenTable, Jenny sits down with Allison Williams, President and CEO of Wyman Center, and Allie Farrell, Director of Strategic Initiatives at Children’s Funding Project, to discuss the realities young people face—and how we can better support them. Young people are navigating a world that can feel increasingly uncertain and overwhelming. Rather than viewing youth as “broken individuals,” this conversation invites us to look at the world around them, understand what they’re experiencing, and consider what they need to thrive. At PreventEd, prevention is about more than addressing substance use. It’s about education, connection, early support, and building healthy communities where young people can flourish. It’s about preserving the experience of being young and protecting young people’s potential.
