90% of adults struggling with substances today started using before they turned 18.
50% started before they were 15.
That’s why we made #ProjectHere available free for every public middle school in Massachusetts.

Prevention education is a huge unmet need in our schools.
Our state requires schools to provide substance use education, but hasn't given them the resources.
So back in 2017 we started using settlement money to fund prevention in school districts across MA. #ProjectHere

Then we teamed up with the GE Foundation, the @HerrenProject, @HRiAction, and others to expand our prevention programming. Today we're in nearly 300 middle schools with #ProjectHere reaching thousands of young students.
#ProjectHere is all about meeting students where they are and helping them understand the importance of making heathy decisions to avoid substance use.
