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.

Program accomplishments

IT HAS WON 67 FILM FESTIVAL AWARDS TO DATE AND IS CONSIDERED A POWERFUL FILM ON THE DISEASE OF ADDICTION, MENTAL ILLNESS, STIGMA, TRAUMA, ADVERSE CHILDHOOD EXPERIENCES, RELAPSE, AND HOW IT AFFECTS ALL THOSE INVOLVED INCLUDING THE FAMILY AND COMMUNITY.
- THE CHRISTINE ORTOLL CHARITY PRODUCED SAFETY NET: HELPING COLLEGE STUDENTS IN RECOVERY THRIVE, A DOCUMENTARY SHOWCASING THE SUCCESS OF THE COLLEGIATE RECOVERY COMMUNITY WE HELPED BUILD AT MICHAEL ORTOLLS ALMA MATER, FLORIDA STATE UNIVERSITY (FSU) KNOWN AS LIFT (LIVING INTENTIONALLY, FINDING TOGETHERNESS). THE MISSION OF LIFT IS TO SUPPORT STUDENTS IN RECOVERY FROM ADDICTION AND SUBSTANCE MISUSE SO THEY CAN THRIVE DURING THEIR COLLEGE EXPERIENCE. STUDENTS LEARN ESSENTIAL COPING SKILLS, ACCOUNTABILITY, AND EMOTIONAL RESILIENCE IN A SUPPORTIVE RECOVERY COMMUNITY WHERE THEY CAN FORM LASTING FRIENDSHIPS WITH LIKE-MINDED PEERS. IN ITS FIRST YEAR, LIFT ENGAGED OVER 1,000 STUDENTS. IN YEAR TWO, MORE THAN 1,500, AND LAST YEAR, OVER 2,000 STUDENTS PARTICIPATED. RESEARCH CONSISTENTLY SHOWS THAT STUDENTS WHO TAKE PART IN COLLEGIATE RECOVERY PROGRAMS: -HAVE HIGHER GPAS AND GRADUATION RATES -ARE LESS LIKELY TO RELAPSE -DEMONSTRATE A GREATER LIKELIHOOD OF THRIVING AND CONTRIBUTING POSITIVELY TO SOCIETY

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.

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.
