Please join this great coalition!!

In August, our Su***de Prevention Coalition will be celebrating 2 years of working to make a difference in our community!

But we still need more voices, more ideas, and more people willing to stand beside us.

Our next coalition meeting will be July 1st (time TBD), and anyone is welcome to attend either in person or through Zoom. You do not have to make it to every meeting to be a valuable part of this group. Every person who joins helps strengthen our ability to create real impact in our community.

If you have ever wanted to help others, advocate for mental health, support su***de prevention efforts, or simply be part of something meaningful, we would love to have you join us.

Together, we can continue building a community where people feel seen, supported, and valued. One conversation, one event, and one person at a time, we can make a difference. 💜 Comment below or send us a message if you would like more information......

🚭 World No To***co Day – May 31, 2026
Unmasking the Appeal: Countering Ni****ne & To***co Addiction

Today is a reminder that to***co and ni****ne products aren’t just habits—they’re part of a rapidly evolving industry designed to hook the next generation.

From flavored products and sleek designs to synthetic ni****ne and social media marketing, these strategies are built to look “safe” or appealing—especially to youth. But the truth remains: ni****ne is highly addictive, and early use can lead to lifelong dependence.

📊 Youth use is rising worldwide, with e-cigarettes and ni****ne pouches becoming increasingly common—often with fewer regulations and strong marketing influence.

💡 This year’s focus:
✔️ Exposing industry tactics
✔️ Supporting stronger protections (flavor bans, ad restrictions, youth access laws)
✔️ Empowering individuals with knowledge and tools to quit or say no

👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 Local support matters.
At Langdon Prairie Health, their team is available to support healthier choices through education, prevention, and connecting you to resources that work for you and your family. Call 701-256-6120 for more information.

💬 Quitting isn’t easy—but you don’t have to do it alone. Every step forward matters.
