🌟 RISEUP’s 2024 Accomplishments 🌟

The RiseUp Program has had an impactful year, making significant strides in supporting recovery, empowering families, and promoting harm reduction across our communities. We proudly graduated 70 individuals from our parenting programs, equipping them with essential skills to build stronger families and brighter futures. In addition, we demonstrated our commitment to community support by donating 900 pairs of socks to the Telfair County Jail, providing comfort and care to those in need.

Our outreach efforts extended to nine treatment centers, and we were honored to sponsor the 2024 Addiction Recovery Awareness Day Rally, amplifying voices and spreading hope. Under the exceptional leadership of Ashley Black, we secured $91,000 in Opioid Abatement Funds to bolster harm reduction initiatives in Region 5. This achievement complements our efforts to install eight Narcan distribution boxes and distribute 80–100 Narcan kits and 100–150 fentanyl test strips monthly, showcasing our dedication to saving lives.

Additionally, we expanded telehealth services to enhance access to MAT-assisted mental health support, ensuring individuals receive the care they need. In 2024, the RiseUp Program supported 9,001 unduplicated individuals and made 21,142 total contacts, reflecting our unwavering commitment to fostering recovery and resilience.

Thank you to our incredible team for their hard work and dedication, and to our partners and community members for their continued support. Together, we’re rising up for recovery and building a brighter, healthier future! 💙
