Our hearts go out to everyone impacted by the senseless violence that occurred last night in Colorado Springs. Unequivocally, we stand with the LGBTQ+ community. We see you, we love you, and we’ll continue to promote a space that celebrates all youth and rejects hate.

Teens across CO are increasingly telling us that #ClimateChange is their number one concern. HUGE topic, but this 20 min convo with @laschifter12 provides practical, actionable ways schools can lead on the issue. the-harvard-edcast.simplecast.com/episodes/empow…


Did you know that #sleep has a MASSIVE impact on your physical & mental well-being? It's true! Unfortunately, research also shows most teens aren't getting nearly enough sleep, leading to stress & other health risks. Learn more here: iriseaboveco.org/together-we-ri… #IRISEABOVE

Great to join @RiseAboveCO to discuss the findings from their youth survey and the important work ahead to address youth vaping, marijuana, and opioid use. We will continue to work on prevention and education strategies to protect our teens.

Confirmation bias is twisting the facts to fit your beliefs. Critical thinking is bending your beliefs to fit the facts. Seeking the truth is not about validating the story in your head. It's about rigorously vetting and accepting the story that matches the reality in the world.


Do you have questions about prescription drugs? Like how do they affect the teen brain? Can they cause an overdose? What are the legal issues around their misuse? We have answers. Learn more here: iriseaboveco.org/straight-dope/…

"Any unit increase in the average household health of your community contributes to a 72% increase to your own health." Fascinating stuff from Tracy Matsue Loeffelholz and @yesmagazine! yesmagazine.org/health-happine…


Great news! Research continues to show that most Colorado teens don't drink alcohol or use other drugs. In fact, most Colorado teens are fully aware of the negative ways drugs will impact their life, relationships, and future goals. #IRISEABOVE

Despite the challenges CO youth are facing, the vast majority are not regularly using substances. In addition, fewer are overestimating their peers' use of marijuana and vaping products. Read why that’s key: riseaboveco.org/articles/press…
