Our Vision

What Drives Us

Driving us is the knowledge that saving children from using alcohol and drugs in their youth significantly decreases their chances of becoming addicted to these substances.

COVID-19 Director's Update

Camarillo, CA is a safe and beautiful community. With the additional challenge of all youth out of school, our young people are inundated by pressure from their peers as well as the media to engage in risky behaviors including alcohol drinking and drug use. It is our responsibility as adults in this community to take action to insure their safety.

One activity parents can do at home with their youth is the Quiet Moment. CLICK HERE to learn more on how to implement this program.

The Saving Lives Camarillo Coalition provides a mechanism by which community members can come together and work to help our youth make wise choices. Our primary efforts are devised to reduce alcohol and drug use as well as prescription medication abuse by minors.

Your input is valuable! Please join us at our upcoming coalition meeting or contact myself at [email protected]. I look forward to working alongside you in this important undertaking.
