Drug Endangered Children Mat-Su Alliance

As a new school year begins, let’s remember that not every child goes home to a place where they feel safe.

Be alert. Be patient. Notice the child who seems unusually tired, hungry, anxious, withdrawn, or afraid. A caring teacher, coach, neighbor, bus driver, or community member may be the safe adult a child needs.

Keep their little hearts in mind. Your kindness, attention, and willingness to speak up could make all the difference. ❤️

Together, we can help protect children and strengthen families.

The Eluna Resource Center have created a new handout that we wanted to share to our network.

"Tips & Scripts for Supporting Youth and Families Navigating a Substance-Related Loss" can be accessed via the link: https://conta.cc/4fWnAuI

Please share to spread awareness... 💙!

Knik Tribe has spent the past three years bringing families back together one gathering at a time: movie nights, cultural gatherings, a trip to the Palmer pool, and more.

This summer, the tribe began formally collecting feedback on that work, and asked families what it meant to them.

We want to highlight their amazing work!

What a full and meaningful summer it has been! ❤️

The Mat-Su Valley Alliance for Drug Endangered Children has been grateful to attend several community events, resource fairs, family activities, recovery celebrations, and outreach gatherings across the Valley.

Each event has given us another opportunity to connect with families, share resources, build relationships with community partners, and raise awareness about children affected by substance misuse. Whether we were offering information, coloring activities for the kids, or simply having important conversations, the message remained the same:

Help. Hope. Support.

Thank you to every organization that welcomed us, every partner who stood beside us, and every community member who stopped to learn more. Your continued support strengthens this work and reminds families that they do not have to walk through difficult circumstances alone.

Together, we are building a stronger, safer, and more connected Mat-Su Valley for children and families. ❤️
