The Courage To Speak Foundation

Saving lives by empowering youth to be drug free and encouraging parents to address the problem of substance abuse and effectively communicate the dangers of drug use with their children.

Description:
The Courage to Speak Foundation, Inc. is a non-profit organization committed to helping in the fight against drugs and violence in our scholls, our workplaces and our communities. The Courage to Speak Foundation provides: presentations to raise drug-awareness; in-school prevention curricula; a parenting course; and support for families as a referral who are at the effect of substance abuse.

History:
The Courage to Speak Foundation was founded in 1996, shortly after Ginger and Larry lost their son, Ian to a drug overdose. Since then, the Courage to Speak Foundation has been dedicated to fulfilling a promise Ginger made to Ian: she promised to do everything in her power to prevent this tragedy from happening to another family.
