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.

A new take on “Under the Influence”

Hear what Eden Prairie students report about drinking and drug use, and the important influence of parents: Tuesday, March 6, 7:00 to 8:30 p.m., at the EPHS Performing Arts Center.
Whether you parent a kindergardener or high schooler, you may have questions on how to support your child in making good decisions and help guide them away from risky behaviors.

Learn about what Eden Prairie’s 6th, 9th and 12th graders report in our Minnesota Student Survey regarding decisions around alcohol, tobacco and other drugs. School staff and community representatives will then share the important role parents play and what you can do to influence decisions from elementary through high school years.

Bring your questions and a friend! Free, no registration required.
