Safe and Sober

Safe and Sober is a nonprofit organization that delivers outcome-based educational programs designed to empower young people to make safe choices.

Students watch a video featuring real teens and families designed to show the importance of staying safe and sober. Students are then asked to take a pledge to make safe choices. Positive peer pressure and support from parents and teachers holds students accountable and creates a culture of change within each school.

Safe and Sober also provides parents with information about the dangers of underage drinking, as well as tips for setting limits and expectations for their teen about avoiding drugs and alcohol.

We believe the Safe and Sober program is beneficial for our students. By starting with the junior high, it helps them become aware of choices and consequences they will face in their lives. With the high school students, it helps them to stay aware of their responsibilities to others and themselves. We look forward to continuing the use of the Safe and Sober Program in our school. — Pamela Gilliland, Counselor at Alton High School

Missouri Safe and Sober provides an incredible and relevant program each year for our students. The videos are made so well with new perspectives and relevant messages to their everyday lives. Our fifth through eighth grades stay engaged, have great conversations about the impact drugs and alcohol have had on their family and really consider the consequences their choices have now and in their future. It is an invaluable program for our students and has never been more needed! Thank you for providing it for every school, free of charge. — Michelle Sherman, Counselor at Pettis Co. R-XII
