Nearly half of teens don’t know fake pills can contain deadly fentanyl
If it didn’t come from a doctor or pharmacy, don’t risk it.
Prevention education = awareness, knowledge, and smart choices.
Stay aware. Stay safe. 💯

Yesterday, Jerist Roberts had the honor of representing and the Center for Collaborative Planning at this year’s 3rd Annual Faith in Health Collaborative Summit. During the event, Jerist facilitated a powerful panel discussion on Engaging Youth Voice, highlighting the importance of creating spaces where young people feel heard, valued, and empowered to lead change within their communities.

We’re proud to see this impactful work continuing to amplify youth perspectives and strengthen community collaboration. 💛

This holiday season, we had the opportunity to bring gingerbread house making to @sacjobcorps, in collaboration with @proyouthandfamilies 🎄✨The activity was a huge success! Students got creative decorating their houses, enjoyed fun coloring activities, and took time to slow down, decompress, and release stress. Activities like these are great for supporting mental health and overall well-being.To top it off, every student also received a great meal 🍽️This was just a small way @proyouthandfamilies and @_bebothered came together to spread a little cheer and support this holiday season 💛#community #mentalhealthmatters #holidaycheer #youthsupport #bebothered #proyouthandfamilies
