Healthy Youth Project

The Healthy Youth Project is a youth substance use prevention program with a focus on fentanyl and opioid safety, healthy decision-making, resilience, and help-seeking.. We partner with schools and community organizations in Stevens County to provide practical, age-appropriate education for middle and high school youth.

Our approach is interactive, responsive to local needs, and grounded in a simple belief: young people should have accurate information, a voice in prevention, and adults they can turn to without shame.
