About Safe & Sober

Providing an Innovative Way to Combat Substance Misuse


Safe and Sober is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization based in Springfield, Missouri. Through engaging and educational content, we encourage dialogue and preventative action between youth, educators, and parents.

We offer free prevention-focused videos and curriculum through our program that is used by schools, homeschool groups, and community organizations in most states across the country.

Our program. Your way.

Between downloadable or mailed materials, program participation is easy for any school. Our modular content gives you options – present the program all at once in a large group or as segments in an integrated classroom unit. Each video topic has corresponding discussion guides and activities that align with national curriculum standards.

The Safe & Sober Program is Free to You

  • Videos, activities, and discussion guides

“I strongly recommend the Safe & Sober program for all schools as an excellent substance abuse prevention tool.”
