About

Our Mission

We focus on providing comprehensive support, education, and resources to those struggling with substance abuse and addiction. Our mission is to create a supportive community where young people can find hope, healing, and the tools necessary for a successful recovery. Our programs include counseling, mentorship, educational workshops, and outreach initiatives designed to raise awareness and prevent substance abuse. By empowering teenagers and young adults with knowledge, support, and guidance, we aim to foster resilience, promote healthy lifestyles, and help pave the way to a brighter, substance-free future.

Our Journey

From App to Advocacy

Our journey began with the development of a sobriety tracker app created to learn web and app developement. Our app garnered a small but supportive community and we realized that our mission extended beyond the digital realm. Our app has been outshone by other apps (see resources), so we decided to focus on in-person local advocacy.

Our Commitment

Our organization is built on the pillars of compassion, education, and empowerment. We are committed to:

Providing resources and guidance to individuals struggling with addiction.
Raising awareness about the dangers of addiction among teenagers and young adults.
Advocating for policy changes and initiatives that promote addiction prevention and recovery.
Offering a supportive community for those affected by addiction, including families and loved ones.

Get Involved

We believe that change is possible, and it starts with each of us. Join us in our mission to combat addiction and create a brighter future for our youth.

Form a High School or College Club

Engage directly with your peers by forming a club at your school. This club can serve as a safe space for students to discuss addiction and mental health, share resources, and support each other. We will provide you with a starter kit that includes educational materials, activity ideas, and guidelines for running your club. By organizing awareness campaigns, peer counseling sessions, and informational events, your club can play a crucial role in spreading knowledge and fostering a supportive community right at your school.

Contribute to Our Research and Resources

Your insights and experiences can greatly contribute to our understanding of addiction in youth. We welcome students, educators, and professionals to share research findings, educational materials, and personal experiences that can enrich our resource library. Whether it’s an academic paper, a workshop module, or an innovative approach to treatment and support, your contributions can help us develop more effective strategies to combat addiction.

Personal stories have the power to inspire, educate, and provide hope to others. If you or someone you know has been affected by addiction, consider sharing your journey. Your story can be a powerful tool in breaking the stigma surrounding addiction and can offer invaluable perspectives to those currently struggling. We provide a respectful and confidential platform for you to share your experiences, either anonymously or publicly, as a beacon of hope and a source of strength for others.
