Ten years of partnering to help with youth substance abuse prevention is cause for celebration for the city of Janesville and Janesville Mobilizing for Change.
J-M-4-C Director Jane Golberg says they received their first grant funding in 2012 and that money allows them to provide education, skills training and support to those impacted by drug use or their families.
Golberg says the relationship with the city and city organizations such as the police department and the library are crucial to the success of their program.
Golberg says in the ten years they’ve been running they’ve seen the youth substance use rate decrease by at least 10%.
