Herren Project: Empowering Youth Through Wellness and Recovery

Herren Project aims to empower students and offer them leadership opportunities within the wellness field, while also providing support for families and individuals struggling with addiction.
Ever wondered how young people can be empowered to tackle mental health and wellness head-on? In this episode of 'The Purple Effect', host Natalie DeLaCruz dives into the inspiring work of Herren Project, a nonprofit dedicated to addiction treatment, recovery, and prevention. Founded by former basketball player Chris Herren, this organization is more than just a charity—it's a lifeline for many struggling with addiction and mental health issues.
Natalie gives us an inside look at the various initiatives and programs Herren Project offers, including their impactful Herren Project Clubs. These clubs provide students with essential skills in self-care, decision-making, and stress management, all while promoting a substance-free lifestyle. Imagine a place where young people can lead and learn about wellness in a supportive environment—that's what these clubs are all about. But the support doesn't stop there.
Herren Project also extends its reach to families and individuals through licensed clinicians who run support groups. Whether you're dealing with addiction yourself or supporting a loved one, these groups offer invaluable guidance and understanding. And let's not forget the Youth Ambassador Program, which encourages young people to give back to their communities while developing crucial social-emotional skills.
Team Herren Project adds another layer of community involvement by raising funds through various activities, proving that everyone can play a part in this mission. Run by a dedicated team of women, Herren Project is making waves globally, showing that change is possible and support is available.
