Drug abuse is harmful at any age, but if drug use is initiated at an earlier age, the more likely users are to consume dangerous substances progressively. Thus, preventing or delaying use of drugs among youth is a critical goal for our community and for the world. We hope COYAD’s Anti-Drug Campaign encourages action on families, friends and communities to take part in our campaigns to help youth live a healthy and responsible life.
