Solving the scourge of drugs demands the active participation of the public and private sectors as well as individuals, groups and organizations. The Partnership for Drug-Free Kids is among the leaders in the fight against drugs particularly in preventing and reducing teen substance abuse as well as in providing support for families affected by addiction.

With the wide range of science and technology available, teenagers and families typically have a challenging time understanding its principles and practices. Fortunately, the non-profit organization translates the science and technology behind addiction for better understanding among its beneficiaries.

Its programs and projects provide both the affected teenagers and their families with practical information, direct support, and useful resources in preventing and coping with drug and/or alcohol abuse. With a stronger support system, the affected teenagers and their families have greater opportunities to overcome the addiction-related issues that affected their lives.

The organization has also established partnerships with educators, law enforcement agencies, healthcare providers, and communities in ending the drug epidemic, as is the case for The Medicine Abuse Project. The partnerships are essential in reaching out to a wider national audience especially as an increasing number of teenagers are also abusing over-the-counter cough medicine and prescription drugs, aside from the illicit recreational drugs.

These partnerships are also conducted under the Alliance Program, a grassroots initiative composed of state and local governments as well as other non-profit organizations. The partners enable the effective, efficient and responsive implementation of locally-based education projects, which allow the organization to tap into local resources in addressing drug addiction at the local level.

With both national and local thrusts, the Partnership for Drug-Free Kids is recognized as among the best non-profit organizations in the fight against drug and alcohol addiction among young people. You can make a difference, too, by making a donation either in your name or in celebration or commemoration of another person.
