Welcome to notMYkid
The challenges kids and families face today are complex and have the potential to devastate lives and derail futures. It is extremely important to work together to protect the kids in our community. The average age a child will first try drugs is 13. Studies indicate that people who reach 21 without engaging in destructive behaviors are likely to never do so, which is why we passionately educate about current trends, warning signs and the long-term impact of destructive behaviors. We believe proactive prevention on the part of kids, families and communities is the answer to long-term success.

From Our Founder Debbie Moak
The intention of our 420 campaign is to highlight the dangers of exposing our youth to any and all drugs. notMYkid is not singling out any one substance, but all substances that may derail the life of our most precious asset, our kids. For the past 15 years I have become painfully aware of the devastating consequences of drug addiction. As youth, families, and communities continue to struggle with a national emergency of drug abuse, notMYkid will continue to educate and bring to bear any and all resources that will ultimately aid families in avoiding the crisis of drug addiction. Our “Family Drug Prevention Plan” offers 36 different recommendations for preventing drug use. Additionally, we welcome others to share strategies they have found effective as well. We urge you to create a plan that is right for your family and one that will keep your kids from starting to use drugs. If you are a teen who is struggling with addiction we are here to guide you to resources to start your recovery today. “Inspiring positive life choices for our youth” is our daily goal. Let us know how we can support your family.
