Monthly Focus: SUBSTANCE ABUSE
The abuse
of substances by anyone is a serious and dangerous
situation, but abuse by young people is most disturbing.
The naivety and lack of fear among youth coupled
with illegal or other harmful materials is a deadly
combination. In many instances violent incidents
accompany substance abuse, therefore making it
another relevant topic to be addressed by SAVE
chapters.
It is important to educate children on the dangers
and consequences of substance abuse at as early an
age as possible. We strongly encourage SAVE
chapters
to address issues of alcohol and substance abuse
especially during this stressful time of year when
students are involved with end of year activities
from exams to proms and parties. Set the stage for
a safe summer free from violence and substance abuse.
Visit SAVE's
Monthly Focus page
for chapter activities and ideas.

VIOLENCE PREVENTION EVENTS FROM CALIFORNIA TO THE CAROLINAS
