Above the Influence (ATI) is a national initiative by the National Youth Anti-Drug Media Campaign, part of the Office of National Drug Control Policy. Every student faces pressures—some positive, some negative. ATI empowers students to resist negative influences like drugs, alcohol, bullying, discrimination, and other harmful behaviors.
