Alliance for Safe Kids

ASK is a coalition representing all sectors of our community working together to provide a safety net that supports a healthy lifestyle for our youth and families. Our mission is to connect the community to important resources that promote Youth Mental Health; Substance Use Prevention, Treatment and Recovery; and Opportunities for Thoughtful Service. 

As the fiscal sponsor for Drug Crisis in Our Backyard, ASK supports their mission to bring awareness of the rampant abuse of prescription and illegal drugs in our community; bring recognition that substance misuse is a chronic disease; and to assist individuals and their families who are struggling with the effects of substance use in a friend or loved one.   

Your donation will not only support the ongoing connections between the community and potentially lifesaving resources, but will allow for important programs to continue. 

Those programs include:

• Spotlight Family Support Group, an ongoing weekly group designed to help family members learn strategies to influence change in a loved ones behavior as well as develop personal skills for resilience.
• Individual family coaching and resources for choosing best options for loved ones who are at risk or in need of treatment.
• Regularly scheduled training in CRAFT and the Invitation to Change approach for helping loved ones reduce use or enter treatment
• Free Naloxone Training and Kits. Naloxone is a medication to assist with the reversal of an opioid overdose.
