PREVENTION IS CARE
Prevention Starts With Youth
We provide harm prevention education, overdose response training, and community-based support for youth and families across Multnomah County and surrounding areas. Through school partnerships, outreach, and our Rosebuds Youth Ambassador Program, we equip young people with life-saving knowledge, leadership skills, and pathways toward long-term stability.
The Data
Youth in Oregon Are Being Disproportionately Impacted
Oregon is among the states most impacted by youth overdose deaths, reflecting a growing crisis affecting young people and families across our communities. These outcomes are closely tied to systemic inequities, limited access to resources, and gaps in prevention and education, making youth-focused, community-based support more critical than ever.
