The Role of a Caring Community
Prevention means:
- Say something when you see someone behaving in a way that is inconsistent with our community of trust.
- Recognize the signs of an unhealthy relationship.
- Get regular wellness checks to promote physical and mental health.
- Learn how to find balance in your life and creating living and working environments that are healthy and free from violence.
- Learn strategies to lower your risk for unwanted outcomes when choosing to drink alcohol.
- Seek help if you are worried about someone or seeking help for yourself if you are having any sort of difficulty.
- Create an environment where people feel comfortable asking for help and supported when they do.
- Avoid use of illegal substances or medications not prescribed for you.
