Breaking the stigma — Education, Awareness, & Policy Change
Empowering Youth to Live Substance-free
Our Mission
We envision a healthy Easton where healthy choices are recognized, valued, and accessible to all. Our mission is to prevent youth substance use through education, awareness, and policy change.
Our Story
In January of 2015, Kristin Harrison- an Easton parent – lost her young niece to a heroin overdose. Like many of her peers, the path to heroin started with the early use of alcohol and marijuana. The family struggled without local resources and feared judgment within the town. Simultaneously, Easton residents were using Facebook to discuss the issue. Many public commenters were misinformed about the realities of youth substance use. Kristin began a mission to educate others, initially through a Facebook page.
Over 7 years later, Easton Wings of Hope is recognized as the official youth substance use prevention coalition in Easton. Learn how you can get involved starting today.
BE THE Hope. GET INVOLVED.
Student Coalition
The Easton Wings of Hope Student Coalition empowers students in grades 6–12 to come together, support one another, and create positive change in their schools and community. Focused on youth leadership, prevention, and peer connection, the coalition gives students a voice through community projects, awareness campaigns, social media outreach, and opportunities to make a real impact.
