Help Kids Make Positive Choices
Every day, kids are pressured to experiment with drugs and alcohol—often before they fully understand the risks. These critical decisions can shape a young person’s life forever.
Right now, the danger is greater than ever. Fentanyl is threatening young lives, and alcohol-related deaths claim 178,000 people annually.
- 13 years old – the average age for first-time substance use.
- 9 out of 10 addictions start in the teenage years.
- 50% less likely – Teens who learn about the risks of drugs from their parents are 50% less likely to use.
Natural High empowers kids to make healthy, drug-free choices by helping them discover their natural highs — the positive activities that excite and fulfill them.

More Ways to Give
We all want to contribute and be a part of something significant, but we may not know how. In reality, there are a lot of ways to participate. Here are 10 creative examples of how you can support Natural High.
The Problem
America is facing an addiction epidemic. According to The National Center on Addiction and Substance Abuse, 3 out of 4 adolescents have already used addictive substances. Half of these youth have used addictive substances in the past month. Furthermore, 9 out of 10 addictions begin in the teen years.
The Solution
Research shows that if young people are directly engaged around the issue in a compelling way by people they look up to and trust, they are much less likely to choose drugs and alcohol. In fact, if middle schoolers choose not to consume drugs and alcohol, they are 14x less likely to ever become addicted.
