Write to Rise Peer Empowerment
Write to Rise Peer Empowerment
At Above the Influence, we recognize that words have the power to heal, uplift, and inspire.
Our table setup activity, Write and Rise, is designed to create a supportive space where teens can share messages of encouragement for those struggling with substance abuse and addiction.
This activity fosters a sense of connection and community by allowing youth to express compassion and offer support meaningfully.
Reading heartfelt messages from fellow teens can provide comfort, motivation, and a renewed sense of hope for those facing personal struggles.
Myth vs Fact Game
Myth vs Fact Game
Knowledge is a powerful tool for making informed choices.
Our interactive Myth vs. Fact table invited participants to test their understanding of mental health and substance use by spinning a wheel, selecting a card, and guessing whether the statement was a myth or fact. This engaging activity sparked important conversations and helped break common misconceptions surrounding addiction and mental health.
Beyond the game, our table featured a variety of resources, including informational handouts, support materials, and books covering substance abuse, mental wellness, and recovery. By combining education with engagement, this activity encouraged critical thinking, challenged misinformation, and empowered youth with the knowledge they need to make healthier choices and support their peers.
Pass It On Activity
Pass It On Activity
Even the smallest act of kindness can make a big impact.
Our Pass It On activity was designed to spread positivity and encouragement by sharing handwritten notes with uplifting messages. Whether it was a reminder of strength, a word of encouragement, or a simple act of kindness, these notes aimed to brighten someone’s day and provide support to those who may be struggling.
By passing out these positive messages, we fostered a sense of connection and hope, reminding everyone that they are not alone in their journey. Sometimes, a few kind words can make all the difference.
