Spotlight with David Daggett: Safe Sober 2022
Safe Sober has become a culture of leadership, guidance, and direction for our young people through the most powerful force available – Positive Peer Pressure! Thirty-two years ago when we created the Safe Sober program, I had no idea the huge impact it would have, not only on the Triad community, but also on myself and our law firm.
Now we are moving into a brand-new era of the program to amplify the Safe Sober message. We are excited for new partnerships, maintaining our traditions, and continuing our positive impact on the teens of the Triad and on the community as a whole!
A founding principle of Safe Sober has always been to encourage teens to make good decisions about drugs and alcohol by harnessing the power of positive peer pressure. Now, as we move towards a bright future, we are focusing on how we continue to evolve the program. The Safe Sober message will be incorporated throughout our students lives in both middle and high school. As studies have shown, kids are being exposed to drugs and alcohol at a much earlier age. To help them make the right choice in their lives, we need to focus our message of positive peer pressure on these younger students, reaching them before or right when the pressures of drugs and alcohol enter their lives.
