Through the SEED (Students Empowered to End Dependency) program, young people see through manipulation, understand the science, and build resilience in a culture that profits from addiction. Their Mission is to dramatically reduce substance use among Maine students by engaging them in compelling learning opportunities and messaging campaigns. SEED’s goals include:

  • Reducing the stigma associated with drug and alcohol dependence
  • Teaching the science underlying Substance Use Disorder
  • Promoting recovery services and invite people into the recovery community
  • Reducing the number of young people who initiate use of drugs and alcohol

Students Empowered to End Dependency is committed to building a statewide multi-network marketing campaign, powered by the engagement of community youth and adults, and designed to counter culturally pervasive marketing that celebrates mind altering chemicals.
