Prevention at PEER
Prevention is about helping the community, especially youth, to be aware and educated about drugs so they can make informed decisions about use, know how to seek help, and be supportive to their peers in the community. Our practice inculcates critical thinking, peer pressure refusal, team building, and leadership skills — all of which are useful when it comes to making healthy decisions.
