During a recent government meeting, officials discussed two key initiatives aimed at addressing youth substance use and promoting community engagement. The first initiative involves a plan that is still in development, focusing on enhancing local resources and support systems for young people.

A significant highlight of the meeting was the announcement of a movie screening event scheduled for August 22nd at the Kinley at 7 PM. The film, titled \"Screenagers,\" tackles the pressing issues of vaping, drug use, and alcohol consumption among youth in the digital age. The documentary-style film aims to educate attendees about the effects of these substances on young people, featuring relatable stories and insights.

The event is designed not only to raise awareness but also to incentivize attendance through gift card raffles. Additionally, collaboration with local school districts will allow students who may be struggling with substance use to receive credit recovery opportunities for attending the screening.

Officials emphasized the importance of disseminating information about the event widely, including sharing flyers with local sports teams to reach a broader audience. This initiative reflects a proactive approach to tackling substance use among youth and fostering a supportive community environment.
