STEERED STRAIGHT
Steered Straight is a proven program that does not explain drug prevention at school assemblies but TEACHES the reality of drugs and devises a prevention message the students implement themselves within their school system.
Steered Straight has become the number one booked program in America with assemblies focused on drug education prevention. Our program is primarily based on the uniqueness of the messenger, someone who has suffered the consequences of negative decisions. We have found that youth instantly identify with Michael DeLeon, or another of our speakers, as a changed, motivated teacher with a real-life story to tell.
Steered Straight does not simply educate students about the harmful nature of drugs and alcohol but provides the reality and deadly impact it can and will have on their lives. We remove the concern parents’ have on how to help their kids and replace it with active solutions.
We have found that the “just say no” message has not worked, nor will discipline and scare tactics. To actively achieve students wanting to stop using whatever substance, on whatever level and on their own, is the only method. However, it takes an engaging and powerful message. Michael DeLeon and his team delivers that.

VICTORIA'S VOICE
Victoria’s Voice was born from the tragic loss of David and Jackie Siegel’s 18-year-old daughter Victoria to a drug overdose on June 6, 2015. Since then, David and Jackie have committed to turning the tragedy of Victoria’s death into a national platform for drug awareness and prevention and saving lives from overdose.
The Siegels effectively advocated for the 2016 Comprehensive Addiction and Recovery Act (CARA). As the first major federal addiction legislation in 40 years, CARA laid the groundwork for a comprehensive and coordinated national response to the opioid epidemic moving forward.
In 2019, David and Jackie founded Victoria’s Voice Foundation to do more, faster to end the opioid crisis in our country. Since that time, the foundation’s Save Our Kids Education and Prevention Programs have positively impacted more than one million students, parents, educators and community members nationwide.
Victoria's Voice also secured a federal resolution in 2023 designating June 6 as National Naloxone Awareness Day—a fitting tribute to mark the day of Victoria’s passing eight years earlier. This national day of recognition serves to spread awareness of opioid reversal medications like naloxone, remove stigma and save lives from overdose.
