SoBe Sober: Underage Drinking Prevention

SoBe Sober is an Underage Drinking Prevention initiative helping the students of today live to become the healthy and productive adults of tomorrow by educating them on the dangers and effects of underage drinking.
In partnership with D-FY-IT, a local non-profit organization, this campaign is designed to combat underage drinking among Miami Dade and Broward County students through education, outreach and celebrity sponsorship endorsement programs.

The SoBe Sober program is being implemented under the leadership of Barbara Zohlman, Executive Director of D-FY-IT, a Miami-based non-profit that has developed many effective, award-winning programs aimed at both middle- and high-school-level students to alert them to the dangers of underage drinking.

SoBe Sober's multi media outreach uses public service advertising and peer to peer communication to encourage students to pursue a healthy, productive, alcohol free life style during Spring Break and throughout the year.
This website contains information for parents and friends to share in an effort to keep our young people safe from this public health hazard. We encourage you to review this information and make your commitment to help young friends and relatives follow a healthy, alcohol free life style.

This year, SoBe Sober is proud to have its first title sponsor, Southern Wine and Spirits of America, Inc. join us in educating students on the alternatives to illegal underage drinking and wants to thank Southern for their support and partnership.

Learn More about Inhalant Abuse Among Teens

In 2004, the Alliance for Consumer Education launched ITS Inhalant Abuse Prevention Kit at a national press conference at the National Press Club in Washington DC. The kit was successfully tested in 6 pilot states across the country. Currently, ACE’s Inhalant Abuse Prevention Kit is in all 50 states. Furthermore, the Kit is in its third printing due to high demands.

The Kit is intended for presentations to adult audiences. Specifically parents of elementary and middle school children, so they can talk to their children about the dangers and risks associated with Inhalants. We base the program on data from the Partnership for a Drug-Free America. Statistics show that parents talking to their kids about drugs decrease the risk of the kids trying a drug.

The Inhalant Abuse Prevention Kit contains 4 components: the Facilitator’s Guide, a FAQ sheet, an interactive PowerPoint presentation, and a “What Every Parent Needs to Know about Inhalant Abuse” brochure. Additionally, there are 4 printable posters for classroom use, presentations, etc.

Sue Scheff: Preventing Addiction by John C. Fleming MD

PREVENTING ADDICTION BY JOHN C. FLEMING MD

Drug and Alcohol Prevention Research

A generation ago, with the idea to prevent drug addition for future generations, former first lady Nancy Reagan launched her famous anti-drug campaign with the slogan, "just say no to drugs." Sadly, addiction and drugs still plague our children despite the best efforts of educators and parents. The benefits of drug prevention are real but our approach to prevention has not been successful.
Now, drug and alcohol prevention research is available from Dr. John Fleming in the book Preventing Addiction. In this first-of-its-kind book, Dr. Fleming introduces real ideas to prevent drug use and alcohol consumption in our children based on medical science and on Dr. Fleming's personal experience as a parent of four grown children. He helps to fully explain the phenomenon of addiction and shows parents the best new ways to raise and train children to avoid drug and alcohol addiction.
