The Mark Wahlberg Youth Foundation and DEA 360 is partnering with the “Instead: Connecting for a Cure” initiative to present the Utah Youth Summit on Opioid Awareness. Instead: Connecting for a Cure is a three day series of events addressing the opioid crisis and bringing together our community and leaders to develop workable solutions to this epidemic.

The Utah Youth Opioid Summit is a half-day program within the Instead weekend of programming designed to educate junior and high school students about the dangers of opioid addiction and encourage them to be a part of the solution.

The Summit will seek to empower youth to take action in their communities and lives to promote prevention and encourage peers to seek the benefits of leading a healthy lifestyle and utilizing technology tools for those who are looking for help and resources. This informative and energetic event will feature guest speakers, entertainment and lunch. We look forward to having you and your school join us.
