One Degree: Shift the Influence

Be the influence, with help from One Degree℠. By practicing talking with our virtual humans, Donna and Jordan, you’ll learn how to navigate these conversations in real life. The One Degree℠ app is a simulation that lets you take on the role of a concerned friend and practice talking about alcohol and other substances before you have those conversations in real life. 25% of Americans drink at levels that could lead to health or other problems – yet, most people who drink too much do not have a serious alcohol use disorder - or what we used to call "alcoholics." For those 25%, a small change in their use of substances can have a big impact on their health. Talking with those around us about alcohol and other substances can help prevent those disorders, avoid diseases and injuries, improve family and work life, and promote overall well-being. One Degree℠ empowers each of us to be the influence and change the lives of those we care about. Download the One Degree℠ app to practice conversations and transform the way we talk about alcohol and other drugs. A One Degree℠ shift is all it takes.

One Degree℠ was developed by Peer Assistance Services, Inc. in collaboration with Kognito.
