RIZE Prevention empowers teens to resist drug use and make healthy, resilient lifestyle choices through relationship-based drug prevention. RIZE understands that the key to ending teen drug use and addiction lies in a combination of effective drug prevention and unwavering support. Our mission is to equip teens with the knowledge, skills, and resilience they need to grow up drug-free, ensuring a brighter and healthier future. We take teens from destructive self-medication to constructive self-regulation. Please join us in changing the conversation so we can change the future together.
Did you know that by high school, 9 out of 10 teens will have used a substance? When we look at social effects of substance use and addiction on our society, we see that problems such as homelessness, domestic violence, poverty, incarcerations, crime, etc. are most often rooted in substance use or addiction. Our goal is to empower teens to understand their worth in the world so that they have the skills and mindset to resist drug use. When our community collectively reduces the number of teens using substances, we create a community with less poverty, better education, and healthy members. For every dollar spent on drug prevention, the community yields a return of over $10.00 - creating safe, thriving, sustainable cities and communities!
