Flying High with SafeLaunch: Innovative Youth Addiction Prevention

The science tells us if you can raise a child without exposure to addictive substances until age, in all likelihood they'll be fine. But when you know the personal stories that corroborate the science, you know you're on the right path.
Ever thought about using aviation to keep kids off drugs? In this eye-opening episode of The Purple Effect, host Natalie DeLaCruz chats with Ron and Janet from SafeLaunch, a California-based group that takes a creative spin on youth addiction prevention. SafeLaunch isn’t your typical prevention program; they use flying as a metaphor and activity to inspire young minds to steer clear of addictive substances.
They dive deep into the One Choice Prevention Initiative, which emphasizes the importance of making a single, healthy choice to avoid drugs and alcohol altogether. Ron and Janet explain how the developing brain is especially vulnerable to addiction, making early prevention crucial. They also tackle tough topics like the addiction-for-profit industry and how negative news can skew our perception of drug use among teens. This episode is packed with practical advice and fresh perspectives for parents and young people alike.
It's not just about saying no to drugs; it's about choosing a healthier, brighter future. So buckle up and get ready for a high-flying conversation that could change the way you think about addiction prevention.
