4. SUCCESS STORY: ROAD TO RECOVERY

We hosted a small gathering for everyone who comes to the center, the goal for this was to show everyone that they are not alone. And there are plenty of ways to have fun without using drugs or alcohol. The event was organised by our staff members and they did such an amazing job. Whether you or someone you know is on the road to recovery or drugs, alcohol, abuse, or anger, you are never alone. We feel like one of the most important ways to help any recovery is having a great support system of people to help you through the journey. That can be a small group, sponsor, counselor, or friend, finding the people that care and support you is so important. One of our favorite ways to cope with something or learn new ways to process emotion is by making a “game” or activity out of that situation.

I had a few issues with creating a twitter account because it kept on making take that ‘’Are you a robot quiz’’ then would make me recreate an account again. Facebook and Instagram were much better. YouTube is user friendly. With all the socials I created I used the same logo and bio, to make each an everything look the same and making easy to create brand visibility.

3. SUCCESS STORY: MARCH AGAINST UNDERAGE SMOKING

This campaign we have been working on since 2019 and we officially launched it in September 2021. We had to damage control for the youth because it really affected them. It was definitely a learning lesson that when youth are willing to stand up for something positive, there will be other kids and even adults from both in and out of community who will react with negative comments. We took it to the streets with big signs and spoke to shop owners, pleading with them about selling cigarettes' to underage child and to children who are wearing their school uniform. We can only do or say so much, without the backing of the community certain things will not work out. The good part is those kids have major resilience, and they know that, despite the feedback, they did something positive. The lesson for them was that when you stand up for something, not everybody is going to like it and you won't always have 100% support from the community either. Those youth made real change...
