Communities for Youth Marsing is thrilled to announce the release of our 2026 Data Snapshots for youth depression and substance use.
The youth depression snapshot provides an overview of one of the mental health areas that is affecting a high number of middle and high school students in our county and investigates risk and protective factors for it (risk factors make a negative outcome like depression more likely while protective factors protect against it/make it less likely) . The substance use snapshot also provides valuable information about what areas of youth substance use are the biggest concern for our community and provides some actionable information for adults about how to help prevent youth substance use.
We invite you to download, print, and share these resources (available in both English and Spanish). Whether you’re a parent, teacher, coach, faith leader, student, or just a concerned
community member , this data has meaning for you and can be used to help build the best possible community for Marsing’s young people.
