Students from the Phoenix Central School District visited Senator Ritchie at the Capitol recently to discuss growing problems among youth in our communities, as well as across the country. 

During their visit, the group discussed ways to keep students safe from dangers like drugs and alcohol, as well as how to boost suicide prevention efforts.
