NDAFW is an annual, week-long health observance that inspires dialogue about the science of drug use and addiction among youth. NDAFW provides an opportunity to bring together scientists, students, educators, healthcare providers, and community partners—to help advance the science, so that we can improve the prevention and awareness of substance misuse in our own communities and nationwide.
There is a big connection between the food we eat and the activities that go on in out brains. Interestingly, these activities could interfere with the result we produce at work and our lives. Diet and productivity is an online seminar aimed at educating participants on the kind of diets and lifestyle needed to improve their mental health and increase their productivity at work.
Youths Against Substance Abuse
