A nurse in the room.
A life saved in the lesson.
Breathe Clear is a youth overdose and vaping prevention program led by nurses. Truth, not fear. Skills, not slogans. Every student learns how to say no and how to save a life.
Built on what prevention research shows works
Nurse-led
A licensed nurse brings a credible, non-judgmental voice into the classroom, and talks to students the way a nurse talks to a patient.
Truth, not fear
Real information, real numbers, no shame and no scare tactics. Fear appeals tend to be tuned out by teenagers.
Skills, not slogans
Students practice refusal and decision-making instead of listening to a lecture.
Saving a life, not just saying no
Naloxone, CPR, and calling for help. Students learn to respond when someone near them is in trouble.
What students get
- Straight answers about vaping, nicotine, and fentanyl-contaminated products from a working nurse
- Practice with real situations: how to turn down an offer, and how to help a friend
- A clearer picture of what their peers actually do and choose
- Overdose response basics: recognize it, call for help, and know what naloxone is
- Available in English and Spanish
See what an emergency looks like
In the live simulation, students watch a realistic emergency unfold the way it does in an ER and take part in the response. It makes the stakes real without graphic content or shame.
