About Us

The Chris Atwood Foundation works to provide recovery support and resources to people and families affected by addiction; to change the conversation and policies about addiction from ones of stigma to support; and to prevent the disease from taking hold of future generations. We began in 2013 after the Atwood family lost their son and brother, Chris, to a heroin overdose.  He passed away at age 21, following a 6 year battle with addiction.
