“I strongly recommend the Safe and Sober program for all schools

as an excellent substance abuse prevention tool. It’s super easy to navigate online and prep is very minimal as they provide all necessary materials, including discussion questions, guided notes, and activities.”

— Counselor, Lexington Middle School

“This is a program that catches the interest of students.

They relate to the videos. The pledge cards have a variety of scenarios that every kid can find a statement to pledge.”

— Counselor, Lexington Middle School

“As a counselor who goes to several different classrooms to present the program, it is so easy to pull it up on any computer.

It is also nice that kids have the ability to do the pledge online.”

— Counselor, Lafayette County, MO

Program

What does the Safe and Sober program include?

The comprehensive Safe and Sober program includes relevant educational videos with supplemental curriculum and activities to educate students on the risks, causes, consequences, and prevention of substance misuse. Our programs offer students a realistic, relevant, and timely perspective.

How do I access the program?

To access the Middle and High School program:
A username and password will be sent to your e-mail immediately upon registration
You can use this username and password to log in to your account on www.safeandsober.org
Your account will include an online dashboard loaded with Safe and Sober program materials.
Program components include the comprehensive program video, activity and discussion guides, and an online profile to encourage your students to pledge to make safe choices
You can share these materials with your students at any point throughout the school year, virtually or in person.

Do I have to re-register if I have previously used the Safe and Sober program?

Your Safe and Sober dashboard and account remain active without re-registration. We will send all users an email when the new program materials are posted. New materials are made available the last week in August, so they are ready for the new school year.

Can I still use the previous year's materials in my classroom?

Yes! You know what works for your students in your classroom! We provide new materials every year to support educators. We encourage you to use what speaks to your community.

Do my students have to take the pledge provided, and if so, what is the deadline?

We encourage students to take the pledge to be safe and sober, only if you and your district policies determine that is appropriate for your students. The Missouri Coalition for Roadway Safety does provide incentives to Missouri schools who have at least 80% pledge report. The deadline for reporting will be on the dashboard when you log in as well as directions on how to report.

Where do I find the program dates?

Our resources are available year round – you can use the program when it works for you!

Can more than one educator in our building/district register?

Yes! To each have full access, anyone in your building/district can register, then they can also have materials at their fingertips. We responded to your feedback and made this easy, so educators can easily address the different topics together.

How do I choose my own password?

Our resources are available year round – you can use the program when it works for you!
