E1VM Early Drug Prevention Program

Service Description

The Every 1 Voice Matters Early Drug Prevention Program is a proactive, research-based initiative designed to educate, equip, and empower youth before risky behaviors begin. Our mission is to help children build strong decision-making skills, emotional resilience, and the confidence needed to resist peer pressure and make healthy choices as they grow. This program uses the evidence-based PreVenture program, a globally recognized, personality-targeted intervention proven to reduce substance misuse, risky behaviors, and mental health challenges in youth. PreVenture is backed by more than 20 years of research and has been implemented in schools across the U.S., Canada, Australia, and Europe with measurable success. At Every 1 Voice Matters, we combine the proven structure of PreVenture with our culturally responsive, youth-centered approach—meeting children where they are, engaging them with real conversations, and empowering them through confidence-building tools. What the Program Teaches ✔️ Understanding Emotions & Stress Youth learn how to recognize and manage difficult emotions, anxiety, and impulsivity—key predictors of substance use. ✔️ Healthy Coping Skills We teach practical strategies to handle peer pressure, stress, conflict, and challenging situations without turning toward substances. ✔️ Identifying Personal Strengths Participants explore their personality, strengths, and triggers to build self-awareness and healthier patterns of thinking. ✔️ Rejecting Peer Pressure With Confidence The program equips youth with the language, mindset, and strategies to confidently say “no” and choose safer, healthier actions. ✔️ Goal Setting & Decision Making Youth learn how to set goals, think ahead, and make smart choices that support their future.
