Crowning Choices

In this special episode of Under the Teenfluence, we’re highlighting National Prevention Week and the excitement (and pressure!) of prom season. We welcome two amazing guests to talk about the power of community partnerships in prevention work and how youth can lead the way in making healthier choices.

We dive into what “prevention” really means, personal stories that inspired our team, and real advice for navigating peer pressure during big events like prom. From handling risky situations to building safer traditions, this episode is packed with honest conversations, practical tips, and inspiration for teens looking to celebrate responsibly and confidently.

Whether you’re prepping for prom or just need a little motivation, this episode is for YOU.
