Artistic Expression Meets a Drug-Free Commitment

 Last week, we finished a two-month program with Partners for Wellness, where our youth learned about the effects of substance abuse. They used cameras to document what they saw in the neighborhood, like cigarette butts and beer cans, and thought about the impact on their lives and their community.

At the end of the program, they hosted an art gallery to share their photos and ideas. They invited us into their stories—from personal struggles to substance abuse affects the whole community. Their work showed the power of awareness and the hope for change.
Thank you to Partners for Wellness for giving our youth the tools and guidance to have these important conversations.
