Dear Friend,
Families navigating substance use today are surrounded by uncertainty.
New guidance around alcohol and other substances can be conflicting. Funding for mental health and substance use care has been unpredictable. And families searching for help are met with an overwhelming mix of social media advice, AI summaries, and opinions that aren’t always grounded in evidence.
In moments like these, families need a source they can trust.
For more than 30 years, our work has been guided by research, experience, and partnership with families and communities. Our mission is to help delay and prevent substance use, improve access to effective treatment for young people, and empower families with clear, evidence-backed guidance.
