Take the No Shame Pledge

At SAFE Project, we are passionate about making sure communities have the tools and resources they need to successfully reduce the impact of the addiction epidemic. That is why we’ve made a free resource available for community leaders working across the continuum of care –- SAFE Project’s Community Playbook.

We’ve reimagined the SAFE Community Playbook with expanded tools, practical guidance, and enhanced resources to help communities turn collaboration into action. Whether you’re just getting started or building on years of progress, the updated Playbook is designed to help your community create meaningful, lasting change.


The Community Playbook provides a step-by-step framework for helping communities organize, assess local conditions, and create meaningful change. Designed to be both practical and flexible, it supports communities in strengthening coalitions, identifying needs and assets, setting priorities, implementing effective strategies, tracking progress, and planning for long-term success.

Designed to meet communities wherever they are, the updated Playbook includes new tools, expanded guidance, and practical resources to help turn collaboration into lasting impact.
