Fayo-qabka Dhimirka ee Dhallinyarada

Important mental health habits—including coping, resilience, and good judgment—help adolescents to achieve overall well-being and set the stage for positive mental health in adulthood. Mood swings are common during adolescence. However, research suggests one in five adolescents will suffer from a mental health disorder, such as depression, anxiety, substance use, or eating disorders. The goal of Tonka CARES is to build partnerships, increase education and awareness, and improve accessibility to resources surrounding mental wellness among youth in our community.

Opioids-ka

As the both the nation and our community face the opioid epidemic, Tonka CARES is committed to changing the conversation and the outcome of opioid misuse and addiction in our community. Improving education and awareness, supporting appropriate medicinal use of prescribed medications, diminishing access, supporting early intervention, and medication assisted treatment, Tonka CARES is focused on improving prevention and to breaking down stigma and removing barriers for treatment of this deadly and preventable disease.

Tobacco, Vaping, & E-cigarettes

Tonka CARES waxay ka go'an tahay inay wax ka qabato kororka isticmaalka sigaarka elektaroonigga ah ee dhallinyarada bulshadeenna. Isticmaalka tubaakada dhallinyarada ayaa markii ugu horreysay kor u kacay 17 sano gudahood gobolka Minnesota intii lagu jiray sannadkii 2017 taasoo ka dhalatay isticmaalka sigaarka elektaroonigga ah/vape. Iyadoo 95% dadka waaweyn ee sigaarka caba, ay bilaabeen ka hor da'da 21, waa lama huraan inaan horumarinno xeeladaha looga hortagayo isbeddelkan sii kordhaya. Taageeridda siyaasadaha sida Tubaakada 21, xaddididda iibinta alaabada dhadhanka leh, iyo kordhinta qiimaha alaabta tubaakada, waa istaraatiijiyad deegaan oo muhiim ah oo ka dhan ah isbeddelkan sii kordhaya.

Marijuana

Despite the fact that research supports that marijuana is a gateway drug, and that use in adolescents can result in diminished IQ, increased susceptibility of mental health issues, and increased prevalence of substance use disorders later in life, many states are adopting laws for the legalization of this harmful product. Tonka CARES is committed to addressing the perception of marijuana harms by providing accurate, data-driven research about the use of marijuana and its associations with mental health and substance use disorders.

Aalkolo

Iyadoo heerka isticmaalka khamrigu uu hoos u dhacayay, haddana walaxdani wali waa mid ka mid ah kiimikooyinka ugu badan ee dhallinyarada loo isticmaalo. Cabbitaanka xad-dhaafka ah, si xun u isticmaalka maalinlaha ah, iyo dhaqamada khatarta ah oo ay ku jiraan cabbitaanka iyo wadista baabuurta iyo galmada aan la ilaalin, waxay u oggolaanayaan kiimikadani inay si xun u saamayso nolosha malaayiin qof sannad kasta. Wax ka qabashada arrimaha ku xeeran helitaanka, qawaaniinta martida bulshada, iyo wacyigelinta/waxbarashada oo la hagaajiyay, waa yoolalka muhiimka ah ee lagu hagaajinayo dhibaatadan socota, oo waxyeello leh.
