Peter Borges, founder of the foundation, said substance abuse was one of the reasons some young people failed to reach their true potential. “
We must ensure that adolescents in our state have the tools and knowledge to make good decisions that will have a positive impact on their lives. We need a bulk shift towards disciplinary, carcareal approaches to substance use and towards public health strategies embedded in compassion and pride. We also need the state and central government to fund youth-led prevention programs, ”he said.
