🌟 We're so proud of our incredible youth delegates who attended the CADCA Forum in Washington D.C. from February 2-6! 🌟
Attached is a photo of the enthusiastic group who represented us last week. They had an amazing opportunity to engage with key staffers of Senators Charles Schumer and Kirsten Gillibrand, discussing important issues around substance use and addiction prevention.
Our delegates also attended various workshops and presentations, gaining valuable insights into addiction science and the best prevention practices. It was an empowering and educational experience that they are eager to bring back to our community.
Thank you to everyone who supported this journey, and let's continue to champion the cause of substance abuse prevention together! 🙌
