To reduce the demand for drugs, Informed Families has focused its efforts on educating and mobilizing the community, parents and young people in order to change attitudes and thereby counteract the pressures in society that condone and promote drug and alcohol use and abuse. The organization educates thousands of families annually on how to stay drug and alcohol free through networking and a series of programs and services.
