Substance Abuse
Prevention Education
OUR MISSION
To prevent the suffering of addiction by informing, empowering and enlightening young people, their families, teachers and administrators.
OUR PHILOSOPHY
Many of the people who became addicted in the past made decisions based on misinformation and ignorance. We provide students and the community at large with the most up-to-date
science-based information to encourage healthy, sensible choices.
We don't tell young people what to do, because declarative statements, orders and pressure can trigger rebellion and motivate substance use to prove autonomy.
Because we are adults who do not moralize or judge, are willing to listen, and to really hear young peoples' concerns, they are more willing to open up and listen to what we have to share with them.
