• To address gaps in prevention efforts by the experts, community members, who know what’s helpful:
– such as the availability of meaningful activities for youth and families, transportation access, community beautification efforts, impact of gentrification, immigration status, and cultural connectedness.
“ If we only focus on the use or misuse of alcohol and other substances, then we miss the opportunity to notice how the
surrounding environment and issues affect families and communities as a whole.”
