Addressing Problems and Finding Solutions

Substance abuse, violence and injury are the leading causes of death and disability among young people. Creating safer, youth-friendly communities require that families, schools and community leaders work together to support solutions.

There are a wide variety of projects for Santa Fe's families and community members to work on:

• Support Let's Talk workshops for parents and other family programs that promote youth health, safety and success in schools and community life.
• Support programs such as Big Brothers/Big Sisters that provide mentors who can teach health and safety skills.
• Use social networking sites such at Facebook and Twitter to promote public dialogue about youth health and safety.
• Support student-led organizations that focus on youth safety, health and success in school and community life.
• Support school-based and community-based safety and health committees and coalitions that work to identify and prevent problems related to bullying, harassment, violence, substance abuse, behavioral health problems and injury.
