Imagine a World Where Everybody Gets a Second Chance
Every year, more than 9 million teens will make a decision that will hurt them for the rest of their lives. In a moment of peer pressure, confusion, or thoughtless action they will turn down the wrong path--a path that limits options and creates struggle.
One bad decision can set a spiral in motion, creating bad experiences and causing emotional trauma that can lead to a lifetime of struggle.

Only 1 in 10 Will Get The Help They Need
When teens don't get help...they grow up and become part of systemic suffering.
Real world change starts with early intervention and root cause solutions.
37.9M
People in the US live in poverty, experiecing food insecurity, homelessness, and instability. For many, living in poverty is a byproduct of addiction and poor mental health. These conditions often begin in adolescence, negatively impacting individuals for their entire lives.
46.8M
Americans are struggling with addiction, a life-controlling challenge that leads to poverty, homelessness, and violence. Scientists believe that a combination of life experience (trauma) and genetic factors make some people more susceptible to addiction and substance use disorders.
57.8M
People in the US are experiencing serious mental illness leading to loss of income, poverty, homelessness, problems with the law, difficulty maintaining relationships, and suicidal behaviors. Substance abuse can sometimes be an attempt to self-medicate an underlying mental health condition.
