In our 19-year quest to prevent substance misuse, we’ve delivered our Safe and Sober messages to hundreds of thousands of teens throughout Missouri and around the country.
Our goal is to improve the futures for young people, one good decision at a time. Here’s how we do it:
We mix real-life stories with evidence-based education on the dangers of alcohol, drugs, impaired driving, and related risky behaviors. Our focus on accountability arms them with the tools they need to make healthy choices.
Great content - any way you need it. Every school is unique, and our program is designed for maximum flexibility. Whether presenting to the whole school or a single classroom, our programs are adaptable to any learning situation.
From talking points about alcohol and drugs, to recognizing depression or anxiety in teens, our Parent Resources section always features great content. Each tool and article selected addresses specific issues today's parents face.
In addition to partnering with traditional public and private school systems, we provide our no-cost resources to other non-profits and community-based organizations that work with at-risk youth.
