-Because nature heals, empowers and is a source for life
Be An Impact Player (Our family motto)
The 3-prong spear of action: Illuminate, Educate, Facilitate
1. Illuminate - Local families share their stories of impact drugs/alcohol have had on their lives.
2. Educate - Medi
cal professionals educate the public about the health effects drugs & alcohol have on children & teen bodies.
3. Facilitate - Outdoor recreational groups & businesses join the initiatives to get kids outside by providing instruction, gear & community for our youth to be a part of. Natural High Bend is a youth driven initiative. Kids will have a voice, a place to share their feelings, a chance to step out of the dark. There is too much secrecy around youth drug use. Too much shame, punishment and adults covering it up. We need to illuminate the struggle! Let kids know they are more important than any choice they made. Create a rescue response team with a protocol for action. Replace the unhealthily way of coping with education and opportunities for a healthier outlet. Set up this resource in every State.
