SAFER SACRAMENTO YOUTH
Safer Sacramento Youth represents a multi-agency county partnership that is working to provide a welcoming and inclusive online space for all things related to mental health, well-being, and substance use.
Well-being
Well-being includes mental health and is about living a balanced, satisfying, and fulfilling life.
Mental health
Mental health is about the state of our social, psychological, and emotional wellness– how we think, feel, and behave day to day. It affects how we handle our stress, relationships, and choices.
Substance use
Substance use can seem harmless at first but can lead to problems that affect your health, relationships, and ability to handle daily life, especially if the use or misuse becomes a habit. Some substances can affect your brain, making it harder to focus, make decisions, or even feel happy without them.
