THE REAL FACTS
55% of all teens will experience mental health challenges, all too often leading to serious substance issues.
Addiction/overdose is the leading cause of death for people under 30.
Students are 200X more likely to die from an overdose than a school shooting.
THE WAR AMERICA IGNORES
Not one of the top 100 nonprofit organizations is dedicated to preventing this crisis.
- There is no American Cancer Society, American Heart Association, or Autism Speaks for addiction/overdose.
- Virtually all opioid settlement money goes towards treatment and recovery, not prevention.
- US Surgeon General Report: $1 spent on prevention = $7 spent on treatment.
STUDENTS LOVE OUR UNIQUE APPROACH
Engaging, interactive meetings with inspiring, young speakers who “have recently been there.”
Raw, authentic, relatable stories — filled with coping skills — followed by highly informative Q&A sessions.
We regularly hear, “This was the most Impactful assembly I’ve ever attended.”
WHAT SCHOOL ADMINISTRATORS SAY
“THE SPEAKER’S MESSAGE WAS HUGELY IMPACTFUL — WE SPENT YESTERDAY SHARING THOUGHTS, HOPES, AND INSPIRATION.”
” I MET WITH ALL OUR FRESHMAN OVER 2 DAYS AND IT WAS AMAZING. WE USED THE SPEAKER’S STORY TO KICK OFF TONS OF HONEST AND INSIGHTFUL AMAZING CONVERSATION. “
“THE FEEDBACK WE GOT FROM STUDENTS AND PARENTS WAS REALLY INCREDIBLE. THEY GAINED SO MUCH FROM THE EXPERIENCE.”
YOUR CONTRIBUTION CAN HELP SAVE TEEN & YOUNG ADULT LIVES
Please help us make the Generation S.O.S. lifeline available to every school and student in America.
Last year, we took our program to more than 25,000 students; our goal is to reach 50,000 students this year.
Within 3 years, our goal is to have a digital video library of teen coping skills available to schools everywhere.
Our vision includes growing our physical presence to 30 major cities within 5 years.
