We really just want youth to know our people in general, to know that we're listening.
Ever wondered how young people can drive change in their communities? This episode of 'The Recovery Hour' dives into that very question with guests Mona Franklin and Latrenda George from the Rockdale Drug Free Coalition. Hosted by long-term recovery champions Bill Carruthers and Tanisha Character, the discussion sheds light on how youth-led initiatives are making waves in the fight against alcohol and drug misuse.
Mona and Latrenda share their passion for working with young people and discuss various programs designed to empower the next generation. From town halls to the Speak Out or Speak Up campaign, these initiatives give youth a platform to voice their concerns and take action. The Sticker Shock Program, aimed at preventing the sale of alcohol and other substances to minors, is another key topic.
Through heartfelt anecdotes and practical advice, Mona and Latrenda illustrate the positive impact of community involvement. If you're curious about how grassroots efforts can make a difference or looking for ways to get involved, this episode is a must-listen. Tune in to hear how Rockdale's youth are stepping up to create a healthier future.
