At We The People Understanding Substance Abuse, we strive to put an end to the generational cycle of addiction and premature death in our adolescents, and youth by promoting healthy life-extending choices through multi-level educataionl efforts. The unique aspect of our approach lies in the incorporation of positive and healthy images, and messages into everyday products, and activities. We strive to infuse these messages into K-12 schools, fundraisers, participatory events, and community-wide retail outlets, making it impossible for individuals and communities to ignore or forget the important message we convey. By intergrating the message of prevention and education into the fabric of our daily lives, we ensure that the impact is far-reaching and long- lasting.
