- Create a thriving and positive community. This can look like cleaning up your neighborhood with monthly trash cleanups and graffiti removal (if needed), revamping local parks, and volunteering at food kitchens or the local community center.
- Emphasize safety in numbers. This can be a campaign in your neighborhood, as well as the workplace and even school zones. Teen behavior can be positively impacted when there are outlets available for them to grow and thrive, especially in a group setting!
- Ensure safe homes and schools. Have you ever seen the “drug-free zone” signs up in neighborhoods? Communities rally together to make this a reality, and the idea can continue far past the classroom environment. Drug-free zones can also be enforced in local parks, playgrounds, and workspaces!
