When someone is finally ready to get help, the last thing that should stop them is a bus fare, a waitlist, or not knowing where to start. We fund and coordinate the practical support that keeps people on the path — from connecting people to treatment and helping cover the cost, to providing stable sober housing where recovery can actually take root. We guide people through the system, make the calls, and follow up. We get people to their appointments, their court dates, their meetings. And when mental health setbacks or addiction triggers hit — because they will — we make sure no one loses their connection to help.
The same things that keep people from recovery are the things that put them at risk. When help isn’t there, hopelessness fills the gap. People battling addiction are 10 to 14 times more likely to lose their life to suicide — and 40% will attempt it in their lifetime.
One of our core commitments is suicide prevention — not just awareness, but intervention. We help people recognize the thoughts, patterns, and moments that can lead to a suicidal crisis, and we work to put a plan in place before that moment arrives. Because by the time someone is in crisis, the window to help has already narrowed.
Suicide is not inevitable. The right support at the right moment saves lives.
If you or someone you know is in crisis:
The Christopher Robin Foundation exists in honor of those battling mental illness, substance use disorder, and the families forever changed by both. It carries the names and legacies of people we’ve lost — their memory is not just our motivation, it’s our mandate.
We know what happens when the pathway to recovery isn’t there. We’ve lived it. And we’re building what we wish had existed — a clear, supported path from crisis to stability to a life worth living.
We are just getting started. The mission is clear, the need is real, and the time is now.
