Tonjie Reese of Break the Cycle explores methods for activating young people as change makers and discusses the important distinctions between efforts that are “adult driven” and “adult supportive” when engaging youth activists in prevention work. Tonjie also presents on Break the Cycle’s “Let’s Be Real” movement — for young people, by young people — and provides resources and tools for preventionists to incorporate into their current work.
