IBH's One Choice Prevention initiative focuses on establishing a clear public health standard of no substance use before age 21 to protect adolescent brain development. One Choice is rooted in the science of the developing brain, recognizing that addiction is a pediatric-onset disorder; for teens, all substance use is related; and youth substance use is not inevitable.

We know prevention work is local. That is why IBH's approach to prevention supports and bolsters (and never replaces) local prevention programming. The One Choice framework can be adapted and integrated into local initiatives. At a time when prevention dollars are tighter than ever before, supporting IBH's One Choice work has even BIGGER impact on prevention nationally.

IBH has cultivated a growing global One Choice Community -- 140 members from 40+ states, 5 countries, and counting! Together we collaborate to develop customizable materials that amplify youth voice in prevention. What our members tell us:

"I appreciate you so much!"
"I tell everyone what rock stars you are and you've lived up to it once again."

More than ever we need YOUR support to continue the work!
