Why do teens experiment with substances?

The answer isn't always simple. Curiosity, stress, peer influence, and other factors can all play a role.

Understanding the "why" can help parents and caregivers respond with empathy, build trust, and start meaningful conversations early.

May is Mental Health Awareness Month 💙

We’re kicking things off with a simple question: What song do you turn to when you need it most?

A song that brings you peace, got you through a tough time, or helps you feel less alone.

This month, we’re building a community-powered playlist—made up of songs that have helped support our mental health. At the end of May, we’ll share it out!

🎧 Join us:
• Share a song that inspires you or helped you heal
• Tell us why it matters
• Post + tag us (or drop it in the comments)

Your song might be exactly what someone else needs to hear.
