To promote development of BABES Communities: groups of people living, loving, and working together to create an environment in which all, especially children, feel healthy, loved, safe, and protected from ATOD abuse. It does this by: providing resilience-based programs that decrease the risk factors and increase the protective factors that result in healthy, drug free young people, particularly between the ages of 0-19; and providing transformational learning opportunities for individuals and systems brought about by education and activities which result in a deep and pervasive shift in the behavior of the individual and the surrounding community.
