Solve It Drug-Free: Supporting Neurodivergent Kids With Healthy Coping Tools
Red Ribbon Week is a time to raise awareness about substance use prevention and encourage kids to make healthy choices. For neurodivergent children—those with ADHD, autism, or other neurodevelopmental differences—learning safe and effective coping strategies is especially important. Without these tools, some kids may turn to substances to manage stress, frustration, or overwhelming emotions.
At Alleviant Integrated Mental Health, we focus on equipping neurodivergent kids with coping strategies that reduce risk, promote emotional well-being, and prevent substance use.
