Organization Information

Mission Statement

The SafeLaunch mission is to prevent adolescent exposure to alcohol and other drugs known to cause substance use disorder. Nine out of ten people suffering from this chronic disease today began using substances before age 18, making substance use disorder a preventable juvenile onset disease. With your support, we provide parents and decision makers with the information and support they need to prevent youth drug exposure.

Description

SafeLaunch promotes the One Choice Prevention initiative to increase the non-use of substances by youth before age 21 for reasons of health. We take this message across the country through collaborative efforts with prevention partners, and with the support of private donations from individuals, businesses, and foundations.

Our vision is a future where the wellness of youth is protected from the financial interests of industries that benefit from the sale of addictive substances.
