One Choice - the Public Health Standard is NO use of drugs or alcohol before 21. This is NOT about driving, but about BRAIN DEVELOPMENT and long term HUMAN HEALTH

In case you need a summary to go with it –  

One Choice Prevention by the Institute for Behavior and Health is re-framing the goal of youth substance-use prevention as One Choice: no use of any alcohol, nicotine, marijuana, or other drugs by youth under age 21 for reasons of human health. One Choice is a clear health standard based on three key facts: 1) the developing brain is uniquely vulnerable to substance use, 2) for teens, all substance use is related, and 3) a growing number of teens are choosing not to use any alcohol, nicotine, marijuana, or other drugs. The One Choice Prevention Toolkit is a resource that provides information, guidance, and materials to create a strong drug-use prevention message that can be used by and/or shared with students and parents in your community.

Everybody has a Youth Advisory Council!! Apply to the National Youth Advisory Council (NYAC)!

CADCA believes that having a NYAC is a chance to promote diverse youth voices, create a youth-adult partnership, have youth speak on behalf of youth and CADCA, be CADCA ambassadors and grow in their leadership skills. CADCA also desires to increase the knowledge of youths on topics such as substance misuse, equity, and mental, social and physical health by leading projects and programs, as well as having and giving presentations and trainings.

National Advisory Youth Council members must be 14-18 years of age on December 1, 2021. Members must serve a two-year term (September 1 until August 31, 2023) and cannot serve more than one term. NYAC members are expected to participate in a certain number of meetings and activities throughout the two years.
