Mission

The Montana Meth Project is a large-scale prevention program aimed at reducing first-time teen methamphetamine use through public service messaging and educational outreach. Known for our media campaigns that communicate the risks of Meth use including NOT EVEN ONCE and ASK ME as well as large-scale community outreach programs like Paint the State, the Meth Project is credited with steady declines in first-time teen Meth use, reported by the Office of Public Instructions Montana Youth Risk Behavior Survey. Our Meth Prevention Lesson Video is used by teachers in classrooms and homeschool families around the state, and it is the only Meth prevention curriculum endorsed by the national Red Ribbon Campaign.
