Programs and results
What we aim to solve
Hanley Foundation works to prevent substance use disorders and secure quality substance use disorder treatment for those unable to afford it.
Our programs
What are the organization's current programs, how do they measure success, and who do the programs serve?
Prevention
The prevention efforts of Hanley Foundation have positively impacted nearly a quarter of a million individuals over the past 18 years. Recognizing the need for a program designed to prevent adolescents from beginning to use alcohol, Hanley Foundation launched its first prevention program in 1998.
Advocacy
Our advocacy focuses on combating the stigma around substance use disorders. This disease affects everyone in some way, shape or form. We want to change the conversation to one of hope and recovery rather than shame and denial.
Education
We work closely with medical and other professionals on the front line of the opioid epidemic in Palm Beach County regarding the early signals and symptoms of substance use disorders. Our symposia series educates first-responders to immediately recognize signs of trouble and initiate lifesaving plans of action.

Charting impact
Four powerful questions that require reflection about what really matters - results.
What is the organization aiming to accomplish?
1) Prevent substance abuse & substance use disorder
2) Educate school aged children in 28 FL counties on the dangers of substance use
3) Secure quality substance use disorder treatment for individuals who are otherwise unable to afford it
4) Train community professionals and para-professional to properly identify the signs of substance use disorders and obtain meaningful help for those affected by the disease
5) Provide support to parents and families affected by substance use disorder
6) Contribute to and support research and scientific advancement in the prevention of substance use disorders
What are the organization's key strategies for making this happen?
Hanley Foundation provides evidence-based, age-appropriate prevention programming to over 75,000 elementary, middle, and high school students. Our programs promote self-confidence, positive messaging, and positive peer pressure.
Through its Lifesaver scholarship programs, Hanley Foundation helps secure treatment and supporting services for individuals battling addiction.
Through projects COPE, Connect for Overdose Prevention & Education, and GRASP, Grief Recovery After a Substance Passing, Hanley Foundation staff facilitate weekly meetings for parents and families affected by substance use disorders and related losses. Moreover, through its ‘Active Parenting’ programs, Hanley Foundation supports parents and families stop substance use disorder before it starts.
Hanley Foundation creates opportunities for business leaders, attorneys, human resource professionals, community groups, and others to gain the knowledge they need to ensure healthy workplaces and positively contribute to a healthy community.
Through meaningful local, state, and national community partnerships, Hanley Foundation leads the conversation around cutting edge prevention and substance use disorder research.
What are the organization's capabilities for doing this?
With over $13.1 million in assets, Hanley Foundation stands strong, secure, and ready to support its mission and lifesaving work.
As certified by our CARF, Commission on Accreditation of Rehab Facilities, Hanley Foundation is THE provider of prevention services in the State of Florida. In the last five years, our team of over 40 highly trained Substance Abuse Prevention professionals provides evidence-based youth prevention programs to over 340,228 parents/caregivers, teachers, and students statewide in 23 Florida Counties. Our programs are proven to be effective in reducing and postponing underage drinking, avoiding alcohol consumption, drug use, body shaping substances, steroids and other performance enhancing substances.
Over the last five years, Hanley Foundation helped over 1,000 individuals gain access to quality treatment.
What have they accomplished so far and what's next?
Since its incorporation, Hanley Foundation's lifesaving work has positively impacted over 500,000 people.
Now as we enter another phase of our work, Hanley Foundation is focused on driving systemic change. In
partnership with Palm Beach County, we have launched the Recovery Leadership Institute (RLI). The RLI is the next major initiative in our work focused on building a strong recovery community. By combining local and statewide recovery advocates, Hanley Foundation, local legislators, and federal policymakers:
→ will together change the conversation to one of identifying and achieving better outcomes for those
with substance use disorders.
→ will prevail in a call for universal, evidence-based youth prevention for all students within Florida.
→ will make the case for funding dedicated to a full continuum of care, versus administering lifesaving
intervention alone.
