The RIPPLE: Friends Helping Friends

Each episode of the RIPPLE spends time with one youth organization and the young people in it. A prevention coalition. A camp for kids whose families are affected by addiction. A leadership program. A peer education group.

They talk about what they walked in with, who made room for them, and what they do with that now. Along the way: why it only looks like everyone is doing it, how to say no without making it a whole thing, and what to do when a friend needs more help than you can give.

No lectures. If you're looking for a place to start, there's one in every episode.
