Operating as usual
The stories we've shared over the last several weeks are just the beginning of what’s possible together. It takes all of us - a young scientist like Dr. Zoe McElligott, a survivor and mother like Ashley, dedicated supporters like Bubba and Doug... and YOU. Together, we’ll turn a season of despair into a Season of Hope for all those impacted by mental illness.

As we continue to highlight local organizations working in the recovery space, we wanted to share the work of TROSA: Triangle Residential Options for Substance Abusers with you!

TROSA is a nationally-recognized long-term recovery program but also has gained recent recognition for their social enterprises, like their moving services, thrift store, and more.
We're so grateful for their work in this space!

As we continue through this #SeasonOfHope we are so grateful for other local organizations in our community that are committed to supporting our mission. We were blown away recently to receive a check from Fred Anderson Toyota (and Fred Anderson Nissan of Raleigh and Fred Anderson Kia of Raleigh) from their #DollarforHope campaign - which was HUGELY successful! We love our sponsors and so appreciate their dedication to the #WalkforHope and to funding critical mental illness research.
Yesterday was BIG!
We officially wrapped up our corporate philanthropy event, "A Dollar for Hope" and got to deliver exciting news, as you can see in our video 😁
All 3 of our Raleigh dealerships actively raised money for The Foundation of Hope, which raises money to fund mental health research.
It was so rewarding being able to present this great organization with a check for over $13,000!
Thanks to Fred Anderson Nissan of Raleigh, Fred Anderson KIA of Raleigh, and Fred Anderson Toyota for an amazing group effort!

"During the pandemic, basically everything is pointed in the wrong direction," says one federal health official, who calls the convergence of COVID-19 and America's addiction crisis "a nightmare."
We know the important work of addiction recovery can't be done in isolation. In the words of Healing Transitions, a local nonprofit doing incredible things in the recovery space, it takes a "village."
Healing Transitions serves people struggling with addiction (especially those who are homeless, uninsured and underserved) at their men’s and women’s campuses, and we're honored to shine a spotlight on their work today. Because, like them, we also believe that recovery can't wait.
Learn more about Healing Transitions (including an exciting ultramarathon fundraiser coming up!) by visiting https://healing-transitions.org/

Healing Transitions takes the COVID-19 outbreak seriously and has been working closely with local and national health officials for the past several weeks. For information on how Healing Transitions is responding to the coronavirus outbreak, please visit our COVID-19 response webpage.
"Overcoming substance abuse is more complex than just quitting taking drugs. The Foundation of Hope’s research shines a light on the science of mental illness and addiction, and their work truly saves lives. They really care about people like me, which gives all those on the recovery journey hope for their future."

#SeasonOfHope #recoveryispossible #addictionawareness
It started out as anxiety and depression in high school. It turned into a narcotics addiction, multiple overdoses and destroyed relationships. For 10 years, Ashley fought to overcome her addiction and failed. Until one day, she entered the UNC Horizons substance abuse program for women and found the help she needed.
"Now, I’m more than just a number – I am a survivor."

We’ve made conquering mental illness our life’s work.
We do that through something called seed grants: relatively small initial investments that can, with subsequent funding, have an extraordinary trajectory.
This year, we're inviting you to help us raise $125,000 to fund research in 2021. Learn more about how your investment can lead to incredible breakthroughs in the world of mental illness, including substance abuse and addiction!

Today's Changemaker is April, a singer, songwriter, clinical social worker, and passionate FOH supporter. In 2010, she tragically lost her younger brother to an accidental opioid overdose.
"Jeremy was our son and younger brother. He was incredibly handsome, funny, smart and compassionate. He also suffered from severe bipolar disorder and addiction. Starting at a very young age, he experienced debilitating anxiety and insomnia, and turned to self-medicating with over-the-counter and prescription medications in his teenage years. Jeremy died at the age of 34 of an unintentional overdose in his bedroom.
Opioid overdoses are a national epidemic and those suffering from a mental illness are the most vulnerable. It’s time our we hold our pharmaceutical industry, physicians, government and ourselves accountable.
The first Walk without our beloved Jeremy was a mere two months after his death. With our hearts and lives shattered and our eyes filled with tears, we took one step in front of the other toward the hope that we would one day smile again. Our souls will be forever grateful for the Walk for Hope. The support we experienced, and continue to experience year after year, from thousands of other strangers walking with and beside us is indescribable.
A special thanks to the Walk for Hope for their tireless efforts to love and support those of us living in the mental health trenches. And a special thanks to Jeremy for the amazing lessons his life and transition from this world taught our family: Love fiercely. Dream BIG. Never take one minute for granted. And, GO FOR IT!
Your life mattered, Jeremy, and we’ll carry you in our hearts forever."
-April

"This pandemic has exacerbated an existing systemic problem: many with mental health issues do not seek help."

#SeasonOfHope #addictionawareness
As COVID-19 cases continue to appear across the nation, so do opioid deaths.
We're in the midst of an epidemic. And we're not talking about COVID-19.
The CDC predicts we'll surpass last year's record of 71,000 overdose deaths. The opioid epidemic, on top of social isolation, stress and health issues, has led to a dangerous increase in substance abuse and addiction. Because addiction is closely tied to other mental health issues like depression, anxiety and suicide, times like these remind us why mental ilnessl research matters.
THANK YOU to everyone who gave yesterday on Giving Hope Tuesday yesterday. You are helping us fight this epidemic!
#SeasonOfHope #addictionawareness #opioidepidemic

Here's a story of hope: of a mother and a scientist, united in their fight against mental illness and opioid addiction, and how innovative treatment journeys from an idea, to seed funding, to lives saved.
"The Foundation of Hope provides hope, not just for those who benefit from the research, but also for researchers like me who depend on them to be able to undertake the work we do. They are an integral part of changing the perception and treatment of people with mental illness."
- Dr. Zoe McElligott
Thanks to the generosity of our supporters, Dr. McElligott received $50,000 for a seed grant last year, which helped her receive an additional $2 million in grant funds this year.
Learn more about how we – how YOU – can continue to support researchers like Dr. McElligott here: https://walkforhope.com/seasonofhope
#SeasonOfHope #addictionawareness
Written on a board in her lab is the question, “Who do I science for?"
Dr. Zoe McElligott understands that behind the science are personal stories. As an enthusiastic young researcher in the world of addiction, opioids, and substance abuse, Dr. McElligott studies the science behind addiction while also seeking to help remove the stigma surrounding it.
Let's join her. https://walkforhope.com/seasonofhope.

Today’s Monday researcher is Dr. Leslie Morrow! With her grant, she will be able to explore the therapeutic effects of a new medication for postpartum depression that could hopefully lead to a new form of treatment for all forms of depression. 1 in 7 moms experience postpartum depression, so this new treatment will have a big impact. Thank you Dr. Morrow for the important research you do! #MentalHealth #MentalWellness #WalkforHope
