YSS

YSS has been awarded the statewide contract to lead opioid prevention and awareness efforts across Iowa using opioid settlement dollars. This investment allows YSS to expand evidence-informed education, strengthen local partnerships, and provide families and communities with tools to prevent substance misuse before it begins.
We provide education for adults as well as resources for teens and substance use.
Designed for parents, caregivers, educators, and community members.
Available for events, fairs, schools, and community gatherings across Iowa.
Goal is year-round engagement in communities statewide.
This initiative helps adults better recognize risk factors and opens the door to prevention-focused conversations before a crisis occurs.
