We all leave a wake as we move through life…
We Will Change The Wake!
But for those with mental health or substance abuse issues, their wake is filled with damage, isolation and misery…
It was time to
Change the Wake.
Change the Wake is a non-profit that thinks like a for-profit. By applying common business principles, we are committed to providing solutions that meet our customers who they are, where they are and when they are
Following the loss of her son, Adam, founder Wendy Pool saw the culmination of what many families face- broken systems handing out bandaids to broken people.
How Does Change The Wake Work?
Our Current Initiatives
Project 1
Megaphone
Project Megaphone is built with the goal of harnessing the millions of voices of family members across the United States who have a family member, family friend or coworker who has battled mental illness or substance abuse. Many of these fighters have lost their battle through overdose, suicide or criminal violence.
Project 2
It’s OK To Not Be OK
It’s OK to Not Be OK. A few words with so much power. And, when spoken by professional athletes and entertainers, magnified in scope and power. There is so much stigma surrounding mental illness and substance abuse. And, there is constant pressure on all of us to be amazing, every day. But, that’s ridiculous. No one is amazing 24/7/365.
Project 3
RESPOND
In every corner of the country, suicide rates are increasing annually. But, they are particularly alarming in rural counties. Change the Wake has a goal of putting a team on the ground in every county, 24/7/365 to respond to people needing services or maybe just someone to talk to, not law enforcement. Modeled after the uber-successful Cahoots program in Eugene, Oregon Click Here, our teams will be composed of an EMT and a crew member trained in crisis response.
