Addiction is never a choice someone makes, especially not a child. They deserve better than to fall through the cracks in adult facilities that are ill-equipped to treat them.
Young people like Nikki need to be surrounded by experts and peers who understand what they’re experiencing and can support them through withdrawal and rehabilitation.
The programs we fund are PROVEN TO WORK.
We have already helped over 3,000 vulnerable young Australians to recover from their addiction. This has been done with:
-
0 suicide attempts
-
100% of young people in housing
Our mission is to save as many young people from addiction, homelessness and mental illness as possible. With the RIGHT CARE, young people can conquer addiction and thrive.
Thank you for showing you care. Can you have even more impact today?
