Students

The majority of students do not drink alcohol, use drugs, or engage in other risky behavior. Give voice to this majority by starting a movement and creating positive rights of passage.

Prevention Program Calendar

let’s talk about…

Many parents and caregivers worry that talking to their children about high-risk behavior will introduce them to new ideas or damage their innocence. More and more young people are introduced to risky things at earlier ages. Do you want them to find out about them via the internet or a friend at school? Be the one who informs and empowers kids to protect their growing brain!

Start a Group

Create a welcoming, nonjudgmental space where students can connect, bond, and find support. Campuses that are aware and support student wellness issues help increase academic performance, retention, and graduation rates.
