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.
