Robin shares her experiences addressing the community's needs in our latest podcast episode. Learn how prevention work has evolved, moving beyond the "just say no" message to include comprehensive education and skill-building that address the complex realities of affected communities.

Feature Quote
In the world of prevention, we teach social skills, we teach the signs and symptoms, we teach the behaviors that come with substance use, so that people have heightened awareness of what it is. We really work very hard to minimize the stigma as much as we can so that people who are in need can, you know, receive the services that they need.
—Robin Mann, The Prevention Council of Erie County Executive Director
