Why Do We Speak Up?In 2017, Gina Allgaier and her family tried to help their son, Tristan, with his addiction. Their efforts at finding the resources they needed ended the same way many families' searches do: frustrated with the lack of information, support and quality care that was affordable and most importantly that was healing. Determined to help other families navigate the journey with a loved one, Gina started Speak Up About Drugs. Through Speak Up, they educate, advocate, support and work to prevent drug use and overdoses. And while it may be a large goal Gina feels that their mission to get to ZERO overdoses is more important than ever. Join us as a voice that humanizes the devastating effects of substance use disorder so we can offer resources, support and advocacy that can change lives and restore families, strengthen communities and elevate the workforce. |

For too long there has been a lack of meaningful prevention efforts. We want to be proactive in making change by educating about the reality of the drug epidemic and help people, especially our young, strengthen their wellBEing so that we can get ahead of the issue.

Support looks different based on the scenario. Our team comes alongside individuals and families faced with the devastating reality of substance use disorder to help them secure the services they need.
|
Speakup works with local, state, and national government offices to propose and support common-sense legislation to reduce the rate of addiction and overdose and advocates at the local level for those needing support.
|
These conversations can be difficult, but they won't be regretted. Have courage today for a better tomorrow.
|
We've compiled a growing database of tools and resources, so you can find the education and support you need.
|
We believe that learning paired with positive activity can help improve coping skills and self-management and help create wellBEing for a healthy lifestyle.
