Generation Lead

Our IABH Prevention Team spent the day connecting with students and having meaningful conversations about substance use prevention, gambling prevention, and mental wellness.

We love opportunities like today to meet students where they are, share resources, and encourage healthy choices. So many great conversations and connections!

Thank you, Vernon Hills High School, for having us!

Red Ribbon Week starts today!

Our Gen Leaders are off to a great start! We are so grateful to have youth voices behind our campaign message and assist our prevention efforts by bringing our campaign into their communities. Gen Leaders meet monthly to brainstorm innovative ways to share our campaign, create social media content to ensure messaging is geared towards youth, and are the experts in their communities to engage in prevention activities, including our campaign! We are excited to see the impact they make!

Today and every day, we support mental health. Creating spaces where people feel seen and heard is the start of breaking the stigma around mental health. Today is a reminder that mental health is health, and we at Generation Lead are here to build supportive communities throughout Illinois. Remember, you matter and your voice does too!
