Substance abuse and other risk behaviors among young people are prevented.
Middlesex United Way is partnering with Youth and Family Service organizations in Middlesex County to implement the Healthy Communities-Healthy Youth assets model in their towns. The approach increases young people’s participation in their local communities and results in reduced high-risk behaviors, especially the use of drugs and alcohol. We support programs that provide safe places for youth to grow and learn and program activities that build self-esteem and life skills.
