ACT works to empower community members to act in collaboration to prevent youth substance use and reduce substance use across all ages, and promote greater wellness and long-term health in the greater Bennington area.
We lead this work through several strategies:
We empower youth by supporting programs and evidence-based initiatives to increase wellness and reduce substance abuse.
We provide information and education to youth, parents and caregivers, and adult community members about substance use and consequences of substance use.
We encourage changes to the physical environment that reduce risk factors for youth substance use.
