Jamie Daniels Foundation grants funds to support community partners that provide programs, resources, and solutions that address the ongoing drug epidemic in our country. The foundation also advocates for legislative change as it relates to drug use and prescribing. Our primary focus is on children, young adults (up to age 24), and their families who are battling Substance Use Disorder through three key initiatives: Prevention, Recovery, and Stigma Reduction.
Jamie’s story motivated us to create a foundation to support efforts to prevent substance abuse, aid those in recovery, and reduce the stigma associated with Substance Use Disorder.
Jamie Daniels Foundation is committed to empowering people with the valuable knowledge and information they need to navigate the Substance Use Disorder and recovery process.
The basis of Jamie Daniels Foundation is to bring awareness of the opioid and substance abuse crisis to reduce the risks of Substance Use Disorder and its after effects. We advocate for change that can improve the path of a child or teen’s life and that of their family’s life. It is our hope that together we can provide the tools and affect change to support prevention, recovery and stigma reduction.
Reduce the risk through education and prevention programs.
This stat was the case for Jamie Daniels, and there are countless children across the U.S. that will ultimately face the same challenges that Jamie and his family fought so hard to overcome.
Jamie Daniels Foundation is cultivating and leveraging best-in-class partnerships and programs with the goal of educating and supporting communities about the prevention of use and misuse of drugs.
