Agents of Change: Youth & Advocacy
In this episode, we sit down with Alyssa Blue, Prevention Coordinator at Kings Partnership, and Jerrett Johnson with the Kings County Office of Education to explore the evolving landscape of youth drug trends. They share insights on how substance use is changing, the importance of early intervention, and equipping young people with the tools to become advocates for their own well-being.
The conversation emphasizes "planting the seed" of knowledge and self-awareness, encouraging youth to make informed choices and speak up for themselves in the face of peer pressure and other challenges. By fostering a proactive mindset, educators hope to empower the next generation to take control of their health and futures.
