Prevention

Underage alcohol use.
Stress, anxiety and mental health.
Social aggression and bullying.

There are many challenges to raising positive, healthy youth. The Prevention section of the website focuses on:

  • educating the community and youth on the risks of chemical use
  • the importance of maintaining a balanced lifestyle
  • tips on creating healthy, lasting relationships.

EP4Y is committed to a collaborative student, school, family, and community process that promotes health through prevention, intervention and support.
