because this could be your child
You can’t eliminate risk—but you can prepare them with the right tools.
This isn’t permission – this is preparation.
The Safe Pak began with parents who wanted to take a realistic approach to sending their kids out into the world, so they decided to build a first aid kit for sex and drugs - real life solutions to keep young adults safe from the risks in the world.
College, parties, travel, new freedom — it’s an incredible time of growth, but it’s also a time of risk. Fentanyl-laced substances, spiked drinks, and unprotected sex are everyday realities for young people navigating independence for the first time.
Of course they know right from wrong – but life happens.
We want you to ask yourself these questions:
Is your young adult child really equipped if something goes wrong?
Are they truly protected?
Do they have actual tools to keep them safe?

ABOUT US
OUR WHY
THIS IS THE REALITY WE’RE UP AGAINST
Fentanyl is involved in about 69% of U.S. overdose deaths — making it the leading driver of fatal overdoses.
Counterfeit pills frequently contain illicit fentanyl, creating high risk for unsuspecting users.
About 60% of adolescent overdose deaths occur at home, often with others nearby who don’t recognize what's happening or how to respond.
Nearly 3 in 10 high school students use alcohol or drugs before sex, increasing vulnerability to sexual risk and impaired decision-making.
Drink tampering is a documented risk on college campuses, with research showing students do experience drugging attempts or drink manipulation.
At Safe Pak, we see preparation as an essential part of caring for families in an unpredictable world. We work with press, campus organizations, educators, and partners who share our commitment to harm reduction, honesty, and practical protection.
Whether you’re interested in featuring Safe Pak, bringing our products to a campus or community, or exploring opportunities to join the team, we welcome the conversation. If you believe peace of mind comes from preparation, integrity, and responsibility, reach out to us — we’d love to connect.
