The term “prevention” is used to represent activities that stop an action or behavior, which are applied at a population and/or community level. It can also be used to represent activities, strategies and policies that promote a positive action or behavior. Research has found that successful substance abuse and violence interventions much both reduce risk factors and promote protective factors to ensure the well-being of children, families and communities.
The San Juan Island Prevention Coalition has been a member of the CADCA (Community Anti-Drug Coalitions of America) since 2004, and we continue to find value in using their resources. The new Practical Theorist has updated a comprehensive overview of fentanyl which has risen to the forefront of community-level concern.

The Family Resource Center, SJI Pride, and the SJI Prevention Coalition are partnering to bring Page from The Common Goodness Project out to Friday Harbor to facilitate a 4-hour workshop on gender and sexual diversity. The workshop will take place on Saturday, January 28th, 12:30-4:30 pm, at the Friday Harbor High School cafeteria/commons. The training is for parents, mentors, FRC staff and board, educators, and any caring adult that wants to expand their knowledge and allyship skills.
We are still wrapping up the details, but NWESD clock hours will likely be available for educators.
We are hoping that together we can provide outreach. Please share the attached flyer and Registration Form with your networks. The registration form will also be on the SJI FRC website, sjifrc.org. Delphina at SJI FRC will have extra printed flyers for those that would like some.
A note from Julie Peterson…
I’m pleased to inform you that the updated version of the Youth Engagement Guide is post on our website and available for your use! We have incorporated suggestions from youth around the state-including updated information about voter registration. I am grateful for the assistance of Peggen Frank for permission to use a biography of Nisqually Tribal member, Native American environmental leader, and treaty rights activist, Billy Frank, Jr. I hope that youth who learn about Mr. Frank’s extraordinary life are inspired on their own advocacy journey. To quote Mr. Frank, “Everyone Needs to See a Future.”
My thanks to Edgar Lopez-Baez for his amazing graphics skills!
Please reach out to us with any questions or suggestions.
In this season of gratitude, please know we are grateful for you and all the work you do!
Warm regards,
Julie
