🤫 What happens when we stay silent?

In this week’s Just Say Something Podcast, Phil Clark talks about how silence in our communities can quietly allow risky behaviors to grow and leave kids and families feeling isolated.

Prevention doesn’t start with a big moment. It starts with something simple—a check-in, a question, a conversation. Speaking up isn’t about having the perfect words. It’s about caring enough to say something.

🚫 “At least it’s safer than smoking…”

We’re hearing this more and more when it comes to va**ng, but here’s the truth: safer doesn’t mean SAFE.

In this week’s Just Say Something Podcast, Phil Clark talks about how this mindset is shaping the way teens view va**ng, and why it can lower their guard around real risks like ni****ne addiction, long-term health effects, and normalized use.

This isn’t about fear. It’s about clarity. Because when something feels harmless, that’s when risk grows.

There’s a place where kids can just be kids… while also finding support, understanding, and connection. 💙

Camp Mariposa Greenville is a year-round mentoring and prevention program for youth ages 9–12 who have been impacted by a family member’s substance use. Through this program, kids build friendships, connect with trusted mentors, and learn something incredibly important: what’s happening around them is not their fault.

And the best part? It’s offered at no cost to families.

Each camp session gives youth the opportunity to:
✔ Connect with others who understand
✔ Build confidence and trust
✔ Reduce feelings of guilt and isolation
✔ Learn about addiction in a safe, supportive way
✔ And just have fun being kids

📅 Upcoming Camp Dates:
May 15–17 | August 14–16 | September 25–27

If you know a child who could benefit from this experience, we encourage you to reach out. This is how we start breaking th

Last week’s 38th Annual Red Ribbon Classic Golf Tournament at Cliffs Valley was everything we hoped it would be and more.

From the moment teams hit the course, it was clear this day was about more than just golf. It was about community. It was about connection. And most importantly, it was about coming together to support prevention and the work of Just Say Something.

We are incredibly grateful to our players, sponsors, and volunteers who made the day such a success. Your support helps us continue creating opportunities for honest conversations with youth, parents, and communities about alcohol, to***co, and other substance use.

There’s something special about a day like this, where great people, a beautiful course, and a meaningful mission all come together.

Thank you for being part of it. We’re already looking forward to next year. ⛳️💛
