What We Do

A Promise to Jordan works on two fronts. The first is to reach families BEFORE substance abuse starts and educate them on the fact that it CAN happen in their family, that it IS happening in every community in America and that, no matter how insulated they think the are, they are not immune, not untouchable. The second thing we do is try to reach families who are already dealing with a substance use problem and help them to find the resources they need for help and demonstrate that recovery is possible, that they or their loved one CAN recover and lead a happy, successful, meaningful life.

 

Our Mission

The mission of A Promise to Jordan is to raise awareness of substance use disorders, help erase the stigma surrounding them, assist people with accessing quality care, and give hope that recovery is possible.

Our Vision

The vision of A Promise to Jordan is to be a leader in helping to transform the lives of individuals and their support communities impacted by substance use disorders.

 

“[A Promise to Jordan is] touching so many people as we all have someone or know someone that has lost someone to addiction. But you are actively helping to remove the stigma about talking about it.”
