In this episode of Pathways to Prevention, host Dave Closson highlights a remarkable youth-driven global effort: the Youth Declaration on Prevention, Treatment, and Recovery. What began as a simple idea at a CND side event quickly transformed into an international youth movement spanning more than 60 countries. Youth leaders from WFAD, Drug Free America Foundation, and Pakistan Youth Organization share how they mobilized a worldwide survey, analyzed thousands of authentic youth responses, and distilled them into six powerful recommendations. Their message is clear, youth participation isn’t a token gesture; it’s a design principle. This episode uncovers the challenges, breakthroughs, and powerful results of giving youth a true seat at the table.
