Listed below are national organizations and resources which promote healthy lifestyle behaviors among youth in four target areas.
These four areas, including physical activity and sports, healthy nutrition, sleep, and relaxation and mindfulness have all been found to help prevent youth substance use and promote mental wellbeing.
Each of these healthy lifestyle areas are addressed in Prevention Plus Wellness (PPW) programs because of their role in strengthening prevention and promoting wellness among youth and young adults.
We encourage substance use prevention specialists and organizations tol share these organizations and resources with families, schools and communities to enhance substance use prevention and mental and physical health promotion for young people.
