Who We Are
Addiction Uncovered is a homegrown initiative started by a group of high school juniors from Leander High School, dedicated to helping people understand the various facets concerning substance use disorder and addiction overall. As BeThere.org certified mental health advocates, we have spent our time developing social media platforms for people to learn about this topic and have access to crucial resources.
Through interactive games, podcast episodes, interviews, social media posts, in-person events and more, our campaign has been successfully improving literacy around this issue. We have been supporting individuals that seek to understand addiction, preventative measures for drug abuse, and the risks associated with SUD.
