Prevention Starts With Connection ❤️
Sometimes being a hero means simply being there.
A conversation.
A listening ear.
An invitation to join the team.
A reminder that someone isn't alone.
Connection is prevention.
This Red Ribbon Month, let's create communities where young people know they have people they can turn to — at school, at home and everywhere in between.
Heroes support heroes.

Find Your Team! 🤝
Heroes don't have to do it alone.
Having positive people around you can make a powerful difference. Coaches, teachers, parents, mentors, friends and teammates can all help young people make healthy decisions and stay focused on their goals.
This Red Ribbon Month, find your team. Build each other up. Encourage healthy choices.
Because when we support one another, we all become stronger.
❤️ Who is on YOUR team?

Sports, recreation and active lifestyles can help young people build confidence, develop healthy relationships and discover positive ways to spend their time.
🏀 Play a sport.
🚴 Get outside.
🏃‍♂️ Move your body.
