Connect With Us For Substance Misuse Prevention In Teens
Ready to make a real difference? Contact us today to learn how our expert approach to substance misuse prevention in teens can help your family overcome these challenges effectively. However, Gobi is not the right program for you if your child is out of high school, addicted to alcohol or marijuana, over 18 or “out of control”. If you have any further questions you can email us at jberenson@gobi.support or see our Resources page for further help.
How Gobi Helps You by Doing the Heavy Lifting
Gobi meets kids on their level, using their favorite device – their cell phone. They almost always – literally – have it in hand. Our experience with digital and cell phone communications and mobile-based applications can help you turn a cell phone into your best communication and relationship ally.
The comprehensive Gobi Prevention program is based on the proven principles of drug and alcohol prevention programs for high school students. It’s designed specifically for them, and it speaks their language. No stuffy clinical jargon here!
Simple Tasks. Big steps
The Gobi Prevention program requires that simple tasks are completed daily—tasks that lead to helpful discussions and develop awareness of substance misuse prevention in teens, benefiting both parents and their kids. These projects are quick and easy (think ten minutes per day), and responses are stored on our secure, HIPAA-Compliant server. Ten minutes can change a life.
Regular communication via text message
Children are texting all day! And Gobi helps them by teaching them to make better choices, handle stress, cope with peer pressure and set goals.
Supportive Memes
Children receive positive messages with insights, inspiration, support, and even funny pictures to lighten the mood. We speak kid, and our content is kid-tested and creates relevant, easy-to-connect-with reinforcement through daily communications.
Parent & Child Conversations
Your involvement as a parent is critical. Don’t worry—Gobi will get the conversation going and guide you every step of the way.
Parent Support
You will receive program support through emails from our collaboration with leading experts in the fields of addiction recovery and substance abuse. On one occasion, your child will be asked to schedule a time to walk with you. Gobi will provide the topic and guidelines will be included to make the conversation as successful as possible.
“Working together as a family and the action of doing something together has brought us closer.”
