Parents.  Teachers.  Neighbors.

​You.

THE PROBLEM

Growing up in the 21st century is hard work.
Kids are faced with social, emotional, and academic pressure every day.

  • Pressure to perform.
  • Pressure to conform.
  • Pressure to reform.

At the same time,we are in the midst of a public health emergency. Tragically, more and more of our communities
​are witnessing an unprecedented number
of deaths as a result of substance abuse and addiction.

While there are many factors
that contribute to substance abuse,
there are likewise factors
that can protect our communities.

Oftentimes adults aren't aware
​of what these protective factors are.







BUT THERE'S GOOD NEWS.



​AND YOU'RE IT.
Pennsylvania teens have spoken.
According to the PA Youth Survey,
teens are LESS LIKELY TO REPORT USING ALCOHOL OR DRUGS
and are MORE LIKELY TO DISAPPROVE OF PEERS WHO DO
if they believe that the adults in their life
PAY ATTENTION to them
and let them know
​they're PROUD of them.

What Can I Do to Help?

​You can take hold of the impact and influence you have and start giving positive attention and pride to the young people in your life.

Individuals, organizations and businesses
can join the movement and become supportive and proactive partners in ending substance abuse ​in our community.
