Why We Created Our Free, Unique Peer-to-Peer Program
Every year in America, more than five million teens and young adults are diagnosed with a serious mental health challenge.
More than 200,000 die from drug overdoses. Our children desperately need to talk about their mental well-being and learn how to navigate their stress and isolation.
Generation S.O.S.’s highly acclaimed prevention program creates a safe space for teens to connect for an honest, peer-to-peer conversation about mental health, the deadly risks of substance misuse, the importance of learning coping skills, and how to make life-saving choices. Our program is impactful, scalable, and cost-effective.
Please help us help more teens today.
