Welcome to the RISE TOGETHER blog! This blog post will explore the power of taking action and empowering teens to positively impact their communities. We focus on preventing substance use and reducing the stigma surrounding mental health.

Taking Action and Empowering Teens

We believe in the importance of advocacy and activism as catalysts for change. By providing resources, encouraging community outreach, and organizing events, we empower teens to become agents of positive change in their communities.

Jessica Geschke’s Remarkable Journey:

One inspiring individual leading the way is Jessica Geschke, President of Start Healing Now and recipient of the Advocate of the Year Award. She has shared her journey and the life-saving efforts of the O.A.K. Program: Planting the Roots of Recovery. This program, created in partnership with Serve You Rx, aims to provide life-saving resources in areas with repeated opioid overdoses. Jessica’s dedication and leadership serve as an inspiration to us all.

The O.A.K. The program offers fully equipped kits containing NARCAN® nasal spray, a life-saving medication, a breathing mask, gloves, and instructions on administration. These kits can be purchased or obtained through donations. Additionally, the program provides valuable information on treatment resources and support for recovery. Join us in spreading awareness and saving lives with NARCAN® through the O.A.K. Program.
