Mission Statement:

Our Mission is to break the stigma around substance abuse and mental health, and to educate on the relationship between them.

Our Goals:

Raise Awareness

Substance abuse disorder can stem from underlying mental health concerns that have gone untreated and unresolved.
Substance abuse disorder is a medical concern and shouldn’t be treated with the penal system but the medical system.

Support

We aim to support others in the position that Carolyn was in and also the friends and family of that person.
- Support those struggling with their mental health and substance abuse.
- Support the friends and families of the person impacted.
- Providing resources on support groups and facilities to receive care.

End The Stigma

Let's start the conversation!
- Talking about these items and normalizing them can reduce the stigma associated with substance abuse and mental health.
- This can lead people to receiving the proper medical care that they need.
