Be a Part of the Conversation creates effective, culture-changing programs that are designed to significantly increase awareness of the effects of alcohol and other drug use.
We are a collaboration of community leaders, students, school district representatives, and families who believe that having meaningful, inclusive conversations will support individuals and their families in their efforts to develop healthy coping skills and access support whenever there is a need.
Be a Part of the Conversation is a nonprofit, 501(c)3 organization. Donate today.
