🎉 Two years running! Big shoutout to our Project Eden team for recently being invited back to Monarch Day at Mt. Eden High School for the second year in a row! 🙌

The team connected with students, shared information about Project Eden’s services, and highlighted the resources available right on campus. The goal? Making sure students know where to turn, what support is available, and that they don’t have to figure everything out on their own. 💚

Know a someone who could use support? Help spread the word! The more your peers know about the resources available to them, the easier it is to help. 🌱

Here's what actually matters: the majority of your peers aren't regular cannabis users. That's the real normal-and it's way different from what most people think.

When you assume everyone around you is using, it's easier to feel like you have to, too. But most Alameda County teens are making choices that don't involve cannabis use.

The point? Your decision is yours. And you're not alone, no matter what you choose.

The friendships that stick around aren't the ones that demand you shrink. They're the ones where you show up as yourself with boundaries and all and they stay anyway.

That's not luck. That's what happens when you use communication as a filter instead of a performance. Your values become visible. The wrong people self-select out. The right people recognize themselves in you.

Peer pressure can't touch what's already out in the open.
