We believe in change

Our mission is to reduce the demand for illicit and addictive drugs through prevention education strategies.

We believe that education is the key for anyone, young people and adults, to protect themselves and their families from the dire consequences of drug abuse. Through our network of resources individuals and families will be better equipped to detect, discern and prevent drug abuse from taking root at school, the workplace or home. We are living in more dangerous times where clandestine access to drugs and paraphernalia are more prevalent than ever.
