Featured Programs
PAX GOOD BEHAVIOR GAME
The Pax Good Behavior Game is an evidence-based universal prevention intervention applied by teachers in the classroom. This evidence-based practice consists of a set of research-based strategies with origins in behavioral science, neuroscience, and cultural wisdom that operate together to improve children’s self-regulation. Teachers implement these strategies as part of their daily routines.
TAKE BACK DAY
Too often, unused prescription drugs find their way into the wrong hands. That’s dangerous and often tragic.

Testimonials
“We are grateful for the partnership and support we have received as a high school from the Sedro-Woolley RISE Coalition. Their work supporting our students and families, focusing on prevention and education around substance use and addiction has been instrumental. The Sedro-Woolley RISE Coalition helps run and organize our teen prevention group, WISH Club, We Inspire Safe Habits, making a huge difference for our students on a daily basis at school and has also helped fund pro-social activities for our youth, such as Spirit Busses to attend our SWHS Athletic events. We are grateful for our Coalition!!”
