Newton, Massachusetts

Cause Description:
FCD Educational Services, Inc. is a nonprofit organization that provides substance abuse prevention services for schools in the United States and abroad. Since 1976, we've served over a million students of all ages. Our mission is to: Provide students, parents, teachers and school administrators with the most up-to-date information on the physiological and psychological effects of alcohol and other drugs. Promote awareness of alcoholism and other chemical dependencies as a primary, progressive, chronic and often fatal disease. Teach children and adults how to recognize the early warning signs of chemical dependency and to intervene appropriately. Empower young people to make healthy, responsible choices regarding alcohol and other drug use. Encourage and support the non-use of alcohol and other drugs during the growing years. FCD teachers are highly trained educators who have achieved long-term recovery from alcohol and/or other drug addictions. This unique "I've been there" perspective not only enhances the credibility of our message, but provides students with role models for happy, healthy, drug-free living. Having experienced the destructive effects of chemical dependency, FCD instructors teach from the heart. Their work is not merely a job, but a calling of prime importance carried out with honesty, compassion, and care. It's no wonder that so many of the students and faculty with whom we work view FCD teachers as trusted mentors and friends, and ask them to return year after year.
