We are raising awareness about this issue, while providing support for families in crisis. We are also working with local and state authorities to make our communties unfriendly environments to drug use and drug activity.

~ Did you know that HEROIN as become the drug of choice for many suburban teens?
* Provide a network of communication and support for parents and families who are going through this nightmare of drug abuse with their teenager.
