We are a coalition of youth & adults living and working in Reading, MA who promote a safe, healthy, vibrant community in which everyone makes healthy decisions and ensures that today's resources shape tomorrow's strengths. There have been many strides to reduce risky behaviors amongst Reading teenagers including a strong commitment from involved parents, dynamic educators, student support professi
onals, school leaders, committed coaches, faith leaders, afterschool professionals, healthcare workers, and other caring adults. “Progress is being made but as a community we have much more to do. Additional recognition by the broader community of youth substance abuse issues will be a key to further success.”
