The Chris Atwood Foundation began in 2013 after the Atwood family lost their son and brother, Chris, to an accidentally fatal heroin overdose. He passed away at age 21, following a six year battle with addiction. The CAF is a 501(c)(3) charitable organization that strengthens the addiction recovery movement through education, stigma reduction, and recovery support services. We do this through: - Educating the public about the disease of addiction - Training the public how to administer naloxone to reverse an opioid overdose - Increasing public access to recovery and harm reduction resources - Supporting recovery communities on college campuses - Stigma-reducing educational presentations - Scholarships to local Recovery Houses - Advocating for public policy changes that promote recovery
