The Mental Health and Opioid Awareness and Support Initiative is a community-based outreach program dedicated to promoting mental wellness, substance misuse prevention, grief support, and access to educational resources for individuals and families impacted by mental health challenges, addiction, and opioid-related loss.

Created in memory of Donald Sterns to empower individuals and communities through mental health awareness, opioid prevention education, grief support, and compassionate outreach that inspires healing and resilience.

Through compassionate outreach and community engagement, the initiative seeks to reduce stigma, encourage healthy coping strategies, and connect individuals with supportive services and resources. The program focuses on prevention, education, healing, and hope while honoring the lives of those affected by substance misuse and mental health struggles.
