About us – Our Mission

Welcome to  BeThere, a community dedicated to empowering teenagers like you to live your best life—free from the harmful effects of alcohol, smoking, and other substances. We believe that every teen deserves the chance to make smart, healthy choices that will set them up for a bright future. Our mission is simple: to provide you with the information, support, and inspiration you need to say no to substances and yes to a healthy, happy lifestyle.

 

We are a group of educators, health professionals, parents, and, most importantly, fellow teens who understand the pressures and challenges you face every day. We know that saying no isn’t always easy—whether it’s dealing with peer pressure, stress, or just trying to fit in. But we’re here to show you that living substance-free is not only possible, but it’s also the most powerful choice you can make for yourself.

 

 

Provide Support:We offer resources and tools to help you make informed decisions about alcohol, smoking, and other substances. From helplines and chat support to tips on dealing with peer pressure, we’re here for you every step of the way.

Educate:Our goal is to give you the facts—straight up. We cut through the myths and misconceptions to give you the real deal on how substances can affect your body, your mind, and your future.

Inspire Change: We believe in the power of positive stories. Through real-life testimonials, videos, and articles, you’ll hear from other teens who have chosen to stay substance-free and are thriving because of it. Their stories could be your story, too.

 

Choosing to stay away from alcohol, smoking, and other substances isn’t just about saying no—it’s about saying yes to the things that really matter: your health, your dreams, your friendships, and your future. Substances might seem like an easy escape, but they can hold you back in ways you may not realize. We’re here to remind you that your potential is limitless when you stay substance-free.

 

This is your journey, but you don’t have to go it alone. Join a community of teens committed to making healthy choices and supporting each other along the way. Take the pledge, share your story, or simply explore the resources we’ve gathered just for you. Together, we can make a difference—not just in our own lives, but in the lives of everyone around us.

Remember, every day is a new opportunity to make choices that reflect the best version of you. Let’s choose health, choose happiness, and most importantly, choose life—free from substances.
