Make plans now to join us for the 10th Annual Substance Use Prevention Conference! ACT Missouri invites preventionists, community coalition members, counselors, law enforcement officers, educators, school nurses, and anyone that works with or cares for youth to attend. It will be an information-packed opportunity to enhance prevention efforts, motivate volunteers, share ideas, network with others in the field, and get the latest updates and resources to keep Missouri’s kids safe and substance free!

New Blog Post is UP!
July’s blog discusses Alcohol Advertising and how it influences youth perceptions on drinking. The brain is not fully developed until at least the mid-twenties. Learn why teens are more vulnerable to alcohol, the impact alcohol has on the brain, and what you can do to as a parent to prevent underage drinking.
Calling All Leaders!
With Tri-County Mental Health Services, Youth With Vision’s primary Focus is to work with our schools and communities to decrease alcohol and other drug use by teens so that all youth in Clay, Platte, and Ray county have the opportunity to reach their full potential.
