DID YOU KNOW?
WHAT WE DO
Youth Engagement
Substance-free experiences that build confidence, connection, and healthy coping skills through our Choose Your Story gatherings—giving teens positive outlets and meaningful alternatives.
Youth Leadership
Through our Youth Advisory Council, teens use their voices to identify challenges, shape solutions, and lead prevention efforts in their schools and communities—earning leadership experience and community service hours along the way.
Prevention & Education
School- and community-based education including EMPOWER: Real Life. Real Stories, adult workshops, and Narcan training—equipping youth, families, and community members with life-saving knowledge
Diversion & Early Intervention
A restorative alternative to punishment that keeps students in school while addressing the root causes of substance use—offering education, reflection, and support instead of exclusion.
Awareness Events
Community-wide events held each year to honor lives lost, reduce stigma, and spark honest conversations around fentanyl and overdose prevention—turning remembrance into action.
WE STOPPED. WE LISTENED. WE ACTED.
When youth in Northwest Florida told us what they needed, we listened.
They asked for:
- Safe spaces without judgment
- Support without shame
- Opportunities to cope, connect, and belong
As of July 2025, we responded by establishing the support our youth requested—creating spaces, programs, and pathways designed by and for young people.
