Youth Advi­so­ry Coun­cil Video

This past Feb­ru­ary, Youth Advi­so­ry Coun­cil (YAC) stu­dents from D211 col­lab­o­rat­ed with the The Illi­nois Insti­tute of Art — Schaum­burg and Trick­ster Gallery to cre­ate this video to defy oppres­sive stereo­types hold­ing back youth in the com­mu­ni­ty” as said by Dylan Toth, YAC Leader (Conant 18).

When stu­dents feel con­nect­ed to the com­mu­ni­ty, it’s a pro­tec­tive fac­tor in pre­vent­ing sub­stance use. Oth­er pro­tec­tive fac­tors include: self-con­trol, parental mon­i­tor­ing, aca­d­e­m­ic com­pe­tence, and anti-drug use poli­cies. Risk fac­tors, on the oth­er hand, increase a person’s chances for drug abuse, while pro­tec­tive fac­tors can reduce the risk.
