Helping Young People Make Informed Choices About Substance Use
A healthier community starts with understanding.
Conversations about substance use can be difficult, but they matter. Teens deserve honest, science-based information. Parents and caregivers deserve practical guidance. Educators and community members deserve resources that help them support young people.
PVHI brings people, education, and community resources together to help prevent teen substance use and reduce the harms associated with drugs and alcohol.
How We Help
-
Get straightforward information about drugs, alcohol, peer pressure, and substance use. Ask questions, explore resources, and learn how to make informed decisions about your health and safety.
-
Learn how to recognize potential warning signs, talk with your teen about substance use, and find support when you need it. You don't have to navigate difficult conversations or concerns alone.
-
Access educational resources and explore opportunities to support substance use prevention in your school or community. Help create environments where young people can learn, ask questions, and access support.
Knowledge can help prevent substance use and save lives. We believe young people and the adults who support them benefit from accurate information, open conversations, and access to practical resources.
PVHI supports a community-based approach to substance use prevention and harm reduction, including education about substance-related risks, overdose prevention, and pathways to support and recovery.
