The legacy of addiction is in every American Family. Addiction comes in all forms and wears many disguises, and even though you cannot always identify them, they are always all bound up in the history of the family. We know that in addiction there are no boundaries-not social, economic, or political. Drugs and alcohol wrecks homes, breaks hearts, and ruins families. Substance abuse in teenagers and their families is an epidemic crisis. The self-destruction and violence that accompanies substance abuse is more radical than ever before. Teenagers are hurting, parents are desperate, and families are crying out. Drugs and alcohol are the core of almost every fatal decision teenagers make.
Angels at Risk believes in the power of storytelling and we use it in all elements and aspects of our programs. It is through storytelling that all people find a common ground in their hearts. History has proven that the truth and innocence in all of our life stories illuminates hope and gives a means to help each other. We encourage everybody to share their story with each other. Our goal is to create a snap shot, a memory, and a moment of encouragement for these families to reach out to other people in the community for help. We truly believe in the element of damage control. Our experience shows how important it is for kids to get through the high school years as untainted from drugs and alcohol as possible. Our programs are designed to embolden families to reach out for help regarding the struggles and suffering of teenagers and their families.
We currently provide:
Several community schools are asking for our help, support groups, and panels and regrettably we currently cannot fulfill this demand. Angels at Risk has a proven model of success for spreading a positive and love inspired message to our communities, schools, and families. It is our dream and our goal to have a center where families, rich or poor can get complete help, support, and treatment.
