Tuesday, Feb. 28th we will host a community presentation on Youth Substance Abuse and Supporting Their Mental Health brought to us by Connie Gyorr and Rise Together.
Today, ADDICTION impacts more than 40 MILLION Americans. 90% of those who STRUGGLE with addiction start BEFORE 18, and SUICIDE is the leading cause of death among teens.
Rise Together’s solution is to provide communities with HIGH-QUALITY educational programs, workshops, and training that help build strong advocates and leaders. It consists of a team of dedicated professionals with diverse backgrounds, educations, and skill sets to lead their cause.
RISE TOGETHER is a nonprofit organization that aims to prevent substance use and promote positive mental health among youth. They look to raise 1 million youth voices by educating, engaging, and empowering youth to use their voice for change through seminars, student-led activities, peer wellness coaching, and ambassadorship. Their purpose is to ignite a movement of hope that is saving lives.
The program's purpose is to educate our community about the overwhelming number of young people suffering from significant trauma, large amounts of stress, substance use disorder, self-harm, suicidal tendencies, and other social & emotional health conditions.
Saving Lives; Together.
