Legal ≠ Safe. Adults using ≠ Permission 🚫

Breaking down the truth behind substance use is a priority we must have to protect our youth. They are seeing substances in stores or seeing people they trust using them and believing they are harmless. The truth? It's not!

Youth today face misinformation about what is considered "safe" vs. "dangerous" regarding substances. As adults, it is our job to guide them. To help youth understand that their brains are still developing. That their choices matter. That they are worth protecting.

notMYkid is here to spark real conversations, challenge myths, and provide young people with the information needed to make healthy decisions. This is a priority because prevention is not just about saying "no." It's also about understanding the "why" behind the "NO."

We are so grateful to Bernard Black School for having us come present to their students on this topic. We loved every moment of it!

CEO, Sarah Grado, was with Good Morning Arizona AZ Family Ch 3 to talk about summer structure with kids. If your teen has nowhere to be, nothing is expected of them, and no one notices if they show up—that's a risk factor.

Use the "Three Before Three" Rule: Before 3 p.m. teens complete three productive tasks.

Take advantage of time during the summer to have your kid visit our counseling programs for a mental health check up, to talk about anything they may be carrying, and to strengthen their coping skills for a strong start to next school year.

Bullying is not “kids being kids.” It’s a continual and painful cycle of power, fear, and isolation. Youth shared with us some of the reasons they believe people bully. Some of their answers included difficult home situations, wanting to feel powerful or better about themselves, or even because of trauma. There are many different reasons. 
 
The youth experiencing the bullying and those who are bullying need our help. We need to understand, address it, and help them.   
 
How can you help?: 
✅Listen without judgment: Youth just want to be heard.  
✅Teach empathy: Even after presenting bullying behaviors, we can end it by changing our actions. 
✅Report & support: Help them speak up for themselves and others and seek help from a professional when needed.
 
Like and share if you want to be a part of the change and help prevent future bullying.  
 
Is your youth being bullied or do you suspect they are? Sign up for a Family Navigation Session on our website for support.

Addiction thrives in the silence. In the moments of quiet or isolation.

But what about connectedness? It thrives during community moments filled with loud, messy, and beautiful moments. It could be someone reaching out to you because they noticed something seemed off or if you were really quiet.

Real strength is letting people in when you need it. When you or your youth feel seen or heard, the pull to rely on addictive habits weakens.

Want to make a difference in a young person's life today? Donate to notMYkid to help a youth receive the support they need.

Our youth are our future!

At notMYkid, we have made it our mission to support youth and their families across the Valley. Elena and Regina recently attended the Prevent Child Abuse Expo. They connected with 83 other organizations to share resources, information about summer camp, and about notMYkid's services.

We are truly grateful that our team was able to attend this event! We strive to provide parents, professionals, and caregivers with the tools to respond to any youth in need.
