SPEAK UP!
We see a friend who’s had too much to drink at a party walking to their vehicle and we don’t stop them.
We watch as a family member picks up a phone call behind the wheel.
We let a friend leave our house to drive to the store after smoking some cannabis “because it’s just down the street.”
These things happen countless times every single day, and they frequently end with arrests, shame, humiliation, huge fines, and many times these choices end in injury and death. Whatever the outcome, people are usually left wishing that they had done something more.
If only I had stopped that friend from driving drunk.
If only I had said something when the driver picked up that phone call.
If only I told my friend to keep their cannabis use at home.
If only I had the Courage To Intervene.
One courageous voice can stop one deadly choice.
