Overview

Mission

We are dedicated to improving mental health and addressing substance use disorders through education, advocacy, and direct support services. Our mission is to provide accessible mental health resources, counseling, and addiction recovery programs to individuals in need.

What it reported doing in 2025

We carried out an OPI Apademic Conference in which we brought key speakers like doctors and LSU professors to promote awareness on this issue and provide solutions with different medication and new approches on the issue. This had a great turn out and many addicts felt the support and left informed about how they may seek for help.

Operating model

Revenue model
Affiliate-supported. 100% of the money available for current operations came from contributions from related organizations.

The verdict

MIXED - The filed numbers largely add up and most voting board members are independent. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and a relatively small share of total spending goes to programs.
