Who We Are
Texans Standing Tall (TST) is the statewide coalition working to support and create healthier and safer communities for our youth. Our vision is to make alcohol, tobacco, and other drugs irrelevant in the lives of youth. We consist of community coalitions, individual adults and youth, state agencies and other organizations. Our current efforts involve reducing and preventing youth substance abuse, with a particular focus on youth alcohol use.We seek to energize and mobilize citizens to advocate for community change, serve as a current and reliable information source and advocate to change attitudes, behaviors and regulations to create healthier communities and protect our youth. We provide community coalitions with training and support to assist them in advancing positive change on the community level.
