A Comprehensive, Proactive Approach to a Drug-Free Future
iRIZE is more than a standard drug prevention curriculum; it is a holistic, emotionally intelligent intervention designed to create drug-free environments in schools and communities. By combining prevention science with positive psychology, we empower students to master self-regulation and resilience.
Our mission extends beyond the classroom, actively engaging parents and community leaders to build a sustainable support network. We address the root causes of addictive behaviors, equipping teens with the tools they need to navigate adolescence without substances.
We believe effective prevention must be multi-dimensional. Our program is built on three core pillars designed to support the “whole child.”
Positive Self-Regulation We teach students the essential life skill of positive self-regulation. This empowers teens to make informed, autonomous decisions, effectively manage complex emotions, and confidently resist peer pressure regarding drug and alcohol use.
Building Resiliency in Students Resilience is the cornerstone of effective prevention. We utilize evidence-based strategies to strengthen a student’s ability to bounce back from adversity and cope with academic and social stress. This mental toughness serves as a powerful, lifelong shield against addiction.
Engaging Parents and the Community Effective prevention requires a village. iRIZE bridges the gap between school and home by providing parents with resources, coaching, and guidance. Our community-focused framework ensures a consistent message of support surrounds the student at all times.
We educate students on how unmet emotional needs and past trauma influence decision-making, removing shame and increasing self-awareness.
We provide the motivation and tools to transform destructive behaviors into healthy patterns, focusing on future potential rather than past mistakes.
We strengthen student agency, supporting their active choice to live a drug-free life through ongoing mentorship and practical skills.
Why choose iRIZE for your school? Unlike one-off assemblies that offer temporary inspiration, iRIZE creates lasting behavioral change. We reduce the administrative burden on teachers by providing a turnkey solution that focuses on holistic well-being.
Crucially, the iRIZE program is available to schools completely free of charge. We are committed to ensuring that financial barriers never prevent a student from accessing high-quality, life-saving prevention education.
