Be Aware of Our Resources

Whether you are a parent, community member, or student, we understand that addiction affects us all—emotionally, mentally, and physically. Loving someone struggling with addiction can be heartbreaking and exhausting, making it truly a family disease. Its impact reaches beyond the home, affecting our community through unsafe workplaces and toxic environments. As a community, we must come together to educate and protect those at risk and prevent addiction before it starts. For students, navigating adolescence comes with curiosity and risk-taking, but it's important to recognize when those risks may lead to dangerous outcomes. If you're questioning your use of substances—or you're concerned about someone else—know that you are not alone. Your family, friends, and community care about you and want the best for you. Below is a list of resources to help you take the first step, no matter your situation. If you need to talk to someone, please call us at 516-361-6540 or email info@awareli.org. We are here for you.

For Students

Welcome to the Students Resource page:

You are not alone. If you’re questioning your use of alcohol, drugs, tobacco, or vaping—or if you’re worried about a friend—we are here to help.

As a teen, it’s natural to seek new experiences, take risks, and explore your identity. But sometimes, certain choices can lead to unhealthy or even dangerous consequences. If you feel like you’re heading down a path of addiction, struggling in silence, or concerned about a friend, know that you are not alone—and we want to support you.

If you need to talk to someone, contact us at 516-361-6540 or email us at info@awareli.org. We are here for you.
