Awareness
Founder Angela Kennecke is using her platform to bring attention to the fentanyl & overdose crisis.
Stopping Stigma.
Saving Lives.
Our journey began with a personal tragedy that inspired a global mission. Founded by award-winning journalist Angela Kennecke, Emily’s Hope is dedicated to dismantling the stigma surrounding substance use disorder—one story, one life, one community at a time.
Our Awareness program encompasses a range of initiatives designed to educate, engage, and inspire. From the heartfelt discussions on the Grieving Out Loud podcast to the informative updates of Emily’s Hope Headline News Service, we aim to keep the conversation about substance use disorder alive and relevant. The “More Than Just A Number” campaign and our memorial website serve as poignant reminders of the lives behind the statistics, encouraging a community-wide dialogue that honors memory through action.
