Tough convos cut likelihood in half.
Substance use is the leading contributor to death and injury among young people. It’s treatable. And it’s preventable.
Talk About It
Your story is powerful.
Sometimes it’s not only what is said, but who said it that makes all the difference. PreventEd invites you to share your story about how substance use, addiction, prevention, or recovery has affected your life and your loved ones.

Support with your words.
Some words carry negative connotations. Calling someone an “addict” or an “alcoholic,” defines that person by a behavior, and downplays their humanity. Learn about person-first language, and why it’s important.
