In order to improve the protective factors that reduce people developing SUDs, our community will take a variety of intentional steps to expand positive recreation activities for people of all ages. By focusing on creating positive social and recreational opportunities and helping people to take advantage of those opportunities. This will help build a healthier community and reduce substance abuse. We will strive to find creative ways to work with community organizations to accomplish this without having a significant budget.
