< Back Alli Stokowski, LICSW Director of Clinical Care astokowski@safecoalitionma.org I am an LICSW, earning both my Bachelors and Masters Degrees in Social Work, though my initial tendency to navigate towards the role of “helper” began at a young age. My experiences thus far have entailed a variety of roles providing outreach and clinical services to individuals, groups and families across Massachusetts. My experience has allowed me to support some of the most vulnerable people including those with chronic physical and behavioral health concerns, those living in poverty, survivors of trauma and intimate partner violence as well as those with co-occurring substances use disorders. I also provided families and their children with clinical support while navigating the anxiety, fear, isolation and associated impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic. I often work closely with school systems, medical providers, DCF, DMH and other community organizations. I recently established a private practice providing psychotherapy to individuals, where I utilize a combination of psychodynamic, CBT and solution-focused counseling to help my clients navigate the stressors of our daily lives. My approach is often rooted in identifying the ineffective boundaries in our interpersonal relationships that lead to increased anxiety, anger and other suffering. I provide evidence-based treatment and strive to convey empathy and compassion to my patients. I enjoy traveling, cooking (mostly eating), any sort of live music and especially working on jigsaw puzzles!

​This free online course teaches teens the dangers of substance use while helping them build wellness, communication, and critical thinking skills. In addition to being useful for all teens, this online program is a DESE-compliant alternative to school suspension for students caught with, at risk of, or suspected of substance use. < Back Online Diversion Program This free online course teaches teens the dangers of substance use while helping them build wellness, communication, and critical thinking skills. In addition to being useful for all teens, this online program is a DESE-compliant alternative to school suspension for students caught with, at risk of, or suspected of substance use. Graduates will receive a printable Certificate of Completion. Ages: 14–18 Date: Can start course on own schedule Time: Must be completed within a 6-hour timeframe once started. Location: Online Enroll About the Program “Up in Smoke” builds on the highly regarded “Why Try” and “Stanford Toolkit for Cannabis Use” curricula, guiding students in understanding how daily life informs their opportunities to seek freedom and self-respect. The program also addresses the impacts of substance use on the brain and body and builds systems for stress management and fostering a sense of belonging. According to Kelley, the coursework is designed to “give students a chance to think critically about the reasons behind why they are using substances, and to build tools they can use to cope with difficult situations in their life.” While traditional suspension isolates students and removes them from the learning process—both factors that increase risk of substance use—Up in Smoke is a positive behavioral intervention and trauma-sensitive approach with an emphasis on four target areas: mediation, restorative justice, conflict resolution and collaborative problem-solving. Alternative to Suspension : Instead of missing school, students engage in an online course that helps them understand the science of addiction, the impact of substances like nicotine and cannabis, and strategies for managing emotions and stress. Interactive Learning : The course includes self-reflection exercises and activities designed to help students make better decisions and build resilience. Research-Backed : Based on proven methods like the Stanford Toolkit and WhyTry, the program helps reduce substance use recidivism and aligns with DESE standards and Massachusetts state educational laws. Fully Accessible : Accessed asynchronously online, ensuring equitable access for all students. It also provides next-step resources to support students and families after completion. “Up in Smoke” arrives at a critical moment in Massachusetts, where legislation passed in 2022 calls on public schools to use alternatives to suspension as a first-line response to rule violations. The measure specifically requires consequences that “re-engage the student in the learning process.” “Up in Smoke” deeply supports Law C.71’s emphasis on positive behavioral intervention and trauma-sensitive learning through a focus on four target areas: mediation, restorative justice, conflict resolution, and collaborative problem-solving.
