The Brian Roberts Drug Awareness Program is a program set up by Dallas residents Kathy and Ian Roberts in memory of their son Brian who passed away 3 weeks before his 19th birthday on October 25, 1998.
Brian went through the Safe House when he was lost and on drugs, the Safe House helped their son leave the drugs scene behind and find a job.
Brian then went on to help other troubled youths in Kamloops turn their lives around before his untimely death due to a seizure and heart attack in his sleep at the logging camp where he was working.
Though Brian didn't die from drugs, the damage had been done to his young body and he couldn't fight off the flu he had at the time of his death.
Because the Safe House helped Brian and because Brian tried desperately to help other drug addicted youths, his parents decided to start the Brian Roberts Drug Awareness Program in his memory at the Kamlooops Safe House.
Thus far the Roberts have managed to fund the program through family donations and the sale of the book his mother wrote "Brian's World, Can't You See What I See", the story of Brian's life.
