Stopping Addiction Before It Starts
Early substance use significantly increases the risk of addiction later in life. Prevention efforts are most effective when they begin early and focus on education and connection.
Why Early Intervention Matters
Nearly 60 percent of individuals who begin using substances at a young age face a higher risk of addiction as adults.
Effective Prevention Strategies
REACH Impact Institute supports prevention messaging that is age-appropriate, trauma-informed, and focused on building resilience rather than fear.
Investing in the Future
