Prevention

Mirror believes in working within the entire continuum of care, prioritizing community-level prevention.  Through youth development and empowerment, coalition building and mobilization, intervention services, and individualized community initiatives, we have been able to work alongside communities to reduce substance use prior to adulthood.   People are the greatest resource of any community and Mirror works to mobilize local people of all ages for healthy outcomes.

 
 

Mirror’s innovative STAND model mobilizes young leaders to take action in their communities by promoting positive mental health, reducing youth substance use, and increasing community involvement.
