Generation SOS

Generation S.O.S. is a nonprofit organization located in Westport, Connecticut. Founded in 2015, the organization employs 11 individuals. Generation S.O.S. empowers teens and young adults to discuss the risks associated with substance misuse, addiction, and overdose. They achieve this through chapters in various cities, including New York City, Los Angeles, Miami, and Fairfield County, Connecticut, along with numerous clubs established in high schools, colleges, places of worship, and community organizations. These spaces provide a safe environment for open conversations about substance use without judgment. A core element of Generation S.O.S.'s approach involves sharing personal stories. Sober young adults recount their experiences with substance use, highlighting the dangers of addiction and emphasizing the importance of seeking help. These stories aim to inspire and educate, demonstrating the potential consequences of substance misuse and encouraging individuals to reach out for support. Generation S.O.S. can be reached through their website, generationsos.org.
