Promoting Positive Community Norms
―
In 2018-2019 we started looking deeper at how the norms in our community were influencing underage substance use. As social beings who look for cues in our environments about how to think, act, and belong. One way we search for these cues is by looking to the opinions and behaviors of others around us. We dove into at what our norms were saying about substance use and how we can model healthier behaviors for local youth.
