“I will always think about high and low risk choices. I have never thought about them in the way I do now. I will always ask myself, ‘Is this high [risk] or low risk?’”

“I wish someone had shared this information with me a long time ago. I would have made better choices."

“Mountain Projects Prevention Services . . . are a true advocate for all students in our region when it comes to their safety and wellbeing. The work they do and the information they give helps our schools with combating the epidemic of alcohol, drugs, and vaping that our students are faced with every day. I appreciate them and their efforts in making a difference with our communities.”

“Restoration House WNC has proudly partnered with Mountain Projects Prevention Services for nearly three years . . . to distribute essential safety materials, including medication lock boxes and Narcan, to support harm reduction in our community. Mountain Projects has also visited our site to provide critical harm reduction education, equipping individuals and families with the knowledge they need to stay safe.

Our partnership (with Mountain Projects Prevention Services) has had a tangible impact: together, we have distributed thousands of Narcan doses, helping to save lives and combat the devastating effects of the drug epidemic in our area. Without the support and expertise of Mountain Projects, our community's challenges with substance use would undoubtedly be more severe. Their prevention services are truly a cornerstone of the fight for a healthier, safer future for all.”

“I am appreciative of the pro-active, thoughtful efforts made by Mountain Strong Prevention Services to impact our community in the areas of substance misuse and trauma/resiliency. Trauma education and building resilience as individuals, families, and communities will always be needed and there will always be room for growth – I am grateful for the work that is being done by our community and for our community through Mountain Strong.

“As a mother of three, now all young adults, I deeply appreciate how the Mountain Strong Prevention Team from Mountain Projects provides educational opportunities that help families like mine make informed, healthy choices. Their positive messaging and practical resources empower parents and kids alike to stay resilient and make better decisions. As a nonprofit CEO, I admire their ability to inspire action and foster community-wide collaboration to build a stronger, healthier region for all of us.”
