Overview

Mission

Christine ortoll recovery organization, inc. Is a nonprofit organization, 501(c)3, which is dedicated to creating media content which inspires and provides hope for individuals suffering from mental illness and substance abuse. Founded by michael ortoll, who lost his daughter christine to a fentanyl drug overdose in november 2020. Our charity website provides free media and resources to those battling this family disease. We have two national initiatives: 1) helping higher education achieve college recovery programs at all campuses, as was done at michael ortoll's alma mater, so we can keep our students supported in like-minded communities. 2) providing helpful videos for parents, teachers, and counselors in primary schools, so we can keep our children safe and healthy.

What it reported doing in 2024

Our charity has two national initiatives. The first national initiative is to make our lift recovery model a reality on every college campus. According to the latest research, approximately 24% of college students meet the criteria for substance use disorder, yet fewer than 5% of universities have an effective recovery program in place. The christine ortoll charity is committed to changing that. By sharing safety net and helping schools implement the lift model, we aim to build a culture of recovery, belonging, and hope in higher education nationwide. In keeping with our two national initiatives: 1. The christine ortoll recovery organization made a donation of 40,000 in 2023 to keep rebuilding annually the college recovery program called lift as it experiences annual faculty and student attrition. This has involved several trips to Florida state university as part of their steering committee head alumni and daily by our team as we grew from 1,100 in 2022 to 1,600 in 2023. 2. The second initiative is dealing with trauma in primary schools in which we partnered with emotional vaccines. Emotional vaccines consists of a library of hundreds of videos featuring proactive, evidence-based content, each designed with non-clinincal messaging and simple, easy-to-follow steps to empower children, counselors and educators to deal with everyday life challendges in order to mitigate health issues and prevent addiction. The christine ortoll recovery organization shares videos with its followers to help them in building emotional resiliency to combat adverse childhood experiences, such as bullying, suicide ideation, and sexual or emotional abuse, etc. The founder of christine ortoll recovery organization continues to participate in social media, radio, tv, or events to speak and share his story to inspire people in finding their purpose following tragedy so that they can heal and thrive in life by helping others. The team continues to meet with people so that they may share with the audience the most powerful sobriety journeys to create hope and save lives. This meets the organization's primary goal of producing media to inspire those struggling to have the courage to make the changes to transform their lives.
