RIPple Drug Education & Awareness
We are angel mothers who have put our pain to purpose after losing a child to the drug epidemic and specifically illicit fentanyl. We have formed a non-profit with persons in recovery, families and concerned community members in an effort to save others from dying and from the pain of losing a loved one. We provide education in schools. We table at events for awareness. We provide life-saving naloxone, fentanyl and xylazine test strips via Little Libraries and naloxone dispensing boxes in communities. We have numerous resources for harm reduction and recovery centers, as well as in and out-patient mental health and substance use treatment facilities. We have open conversations with law enforcement in efforts to strategize ways of interacting with families and persons in active use. We stand firm in breaking the stigma around mental illness and substance use.
