Center for Substance Abuse Prevention

Okay kiddo, so imagine you and your friends have a big container of candy. Now, you know that eating too much candy is not good for you, right? Well, there are some people who are in charge of trying to stop people from eating too much candy or other harmful things like drugs and alcohol.

That's where the Center for Substance Abuse Prevention comes in. They are a group of grown-ups who work together to help people make good choices about what they put in their bodies. They want to prevent people from getting addicted to drugs or alcohol because those things can really hurt you in the long run.

The Center for Substance Abuse Prevention works with schools, families, and other organizations to teach people about the dangers of drugs and alcohol. They help kids like you learn how to say "no" to things that might hurt your bodies.

So basically, the Center for Substance Abuse Prevention is like a team of really nice grown-ups who want to help keep you and your friends safe and healthy by teaching you how to make good choices and avoid dangerous things.
