When you talk peer-to-peer, students can ask deeply personal questions. Our speakers answer honestly and are so eager to offer support, share their lived experience, and offer real coping skills. The result? Connection, community and changed lives.

Who do you turn to when you’re feeling low? We all need one friend we can turn to. Meet Koda, the official mascot of Generation S.O.S. & best buddy of our CEO, @Jim_GenSOS “It’s impossible to express my gratitude for his love & companionship. No matter how messy life gets…

…Koda is always there with and for me. He’s such an amazing friend!” Generation S.O.S. is about sharing our stories, and helping a community of teens and young adults feel heard and less alone. Share your photos and stories of the people or pets you turn to for support!

Wow — what great wisdom from a powerful and relatable speaker. #SharingOurStories
I previously shared Part 1 of this school presentation in LA. Here is Part 2. The wisdom these young adult speakers share with students is so insightful — and relatable. Generation S.O.S. is helping teens and young adults make life-saving choices. GenerationSOS.org

We invite you to learn more about the partnerships Generation S.O.S. has with schools and organizations across the country — and why they work so well to help teens make life-saving choices. 👇🏽👇🏽👇🏽
Generation S.O.S. connects to students by creating partnerships w/ schools and community organizations around the country. Our speakers are just a few years older than the students in the audience and they share their struggles with mental health and substance misuse. More 👇🏽👇🏽

Here's another tough truth: over half of all teens will experience a serious mental health issue. These struggles, combined with the deadliness of fentanyl present in many drugs kids today have access to, create a terrifying — and deadly — situation.
That’s more than a classroom, more than a team, more than a group of friends. It's a tragedy unfolding across the country, and it's hitting closer to home than ever. The loss of young lives CAN BE AVOIDED, but we can't do it alone. generations.org/donate

Listen to our S.O.S. speaker share his journey with substance misuse with a high school in Southern California. Conversations like this are why our approach is so powerful. A speaker — not much older than the high school students — shares his story and then takes questions.

The numbers are staggering, but this goes beyond numbers. Sons, daughters, brothers, sisters, & more are dying every minute or every day from substance misuse — & more will die unless we all take responsibility to fix this problem. GenerationSOS.org 📸: @Every11Minutes
