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.
Navigate. Support. Opportunity.
A significant threat to our youth, Substance Use Disorder often develops and takes off during adolescence. Treatment services to support addiction recovery for youth are sparse and often do not provide comprehensive, up-to-date care – the current system leaves patients and families with nowhere to turn for the appropriate lifesaving and life-changing treatment.
In partnership with The Children’s Foundation, we’ve granted almost $400,000 into collegiate recovery programming.
We are currently funding seven colleges in Michigan: University of Michigan, Michigan State University, Central Michigan University, Ferris State University, Oakland University, Mid-Michigan College & Washtenaw Community College. Each engagement is different and is dependent on the needs of the school, and ranges from counseling, housing, scholarships, dedicated space, training, and events.
National research indicates that approximately 95% of students in Collegiate Recovery programs maintain their recovery, yet not all Michigan colleges are able to offer a robust school-supported and sanctioned program.
That’s why the Jamie Daniels Foundation is partnering with SAFE Project to offer campuses in Michigan the opportunity to join an exclusive Michigan cohort of the SAFE Project Collegiate Recovery Summer Series. The Summer Series is an 8-week virtual program for university personnel who want to improve recovery support services and capacity on their campuses.
