Major Program: Substance Use and Mental Health – 4-H Youth Development
Substance abuse (legal & illegal drugs, alcohol, tobacco) continues to be a concern for youth in Webster County. The children living in Webster County have experienced losses because of drug use, activity and violence in and out of their homes. To address this need, the Webster County 4-H Youth Development program introduced Health Rocks! to students in 6th grade at all four local elementary schools.5 Webster County Teens from Webster County were trained in the Health Rocks Curriculum.
