Restore Childhood Joy ~ Comprehensive School Safety & Opioid Prevention Program.
The Gap we fill
Idaho has great resources like See Tell Now! and state-certified recovery centers but many schools don't know they exist or how to access them. A tip line only works when students know what to report and feel empowered to act.
ACTIVATE, DON'T DUPLICATE
We don't recreate what the state has built. We serve as the implementation engine that activates and amplifies these resources providing unified coordination, professional training, and local relationships.
RESOURCE MAXIMIZATION
This model maximizes Idaho's existing investment. Rather than funding new infrastructure, we leverage state resources already in place. One unified program. One point of contact. Maximum impact from every dollar.
WHAT WE BRING
Professional training infrastructure, evidence-based curriculum development, school and community relationships, program coordination, and outcome measurement the implementation expertise that state agencies cannot provide locally.

The Student & Teacher Journey
LEARN
Students and teachers receive professional prevention education, hear powerful stories from peer specialists with lived experience, and learn to recognize warning signs.
SEE
Armed with knowledge, a student notices a friend exhibiting warning signs—behavioral changes, possession of pills, or concerning statements about substance use.
TELL
The student reports their concern either to a trusted adult or confidentially through See Tell Now! (888-593-2835). The 24/7 call center routes the information to school administrators.
RESPOND
Trained school staff respond appropriately. Students needing support are connected to 208 Recovery's state-certified peer specialists.
RESTORE
The student receives help. Childhood joy is restored. The school community is safer. Prevention works.
