Life is riddled with moments where something just doesn't feel right.
You're partying with a friend who is about to make a bad choice, or
you're with a group of people that's oblivious to an obviously dangerous
situation. It's decision time. You can let it all happen, or you can step up.
The Step Up campaign is designed to increase awareness of these
forks in the road—these moments where something feels off—so that you
don't think twice about making the right decision.
Preventing High Risk Drinking
Whether it's a friend who has clearly had enough or a stranger
you see passed out on the sidewalk, everyone has a responsibility to
Step Up.
