Mission: To assure that all youth, parents, and community members have the knowledge and skills to support youth in healthy, positive choices and behaviors.
We accomplish this mission through supporting programs to reduce youth substance use, including Parents Involved in Education, agencies funded through the Substance Education and Awareness Fund, and partnering with community-based organizations to support parenting classes.
The Healthy Youth Alliance works to empower parents by giving them skills and tools to support their children in making healthy choices and supporting their social, emotional, and physical health. Family connectedness and communication is a proven protective factor to many youth risk behaviors including substance use. HYA provides programs that support parents in communicating with their children about topics such as substance use. Here you can find resources to assist with those conversations and to learn more about youth protective factors.
PIE focuses on closing the cultural gap between mono-lingual Spanish speaking parents and their American-raised children by providing the parents with educational sessions.
