Description

Help us change the narrative on Mental Health Substance Abuse and Addiction. What is the Living Undeterred Tour The Living Undeterred Tour is a 95-day cross country mental health initiative. Every 2 minutes one person dies from overdose, suicide or alcoholism in the United States. These people are our children, our spouses, our siblings, our parents, our neighbors, and our friends. For founder, Jeff Johnston, it was his son, Seth, who died of fentanyl poisoning in 2016. It was also his wife of 21 years, Prudence, who died from alcoholism in 2021. What we are doing is not working. It is time to make a change. Jeff and his team are traveling across the United States to meet people where they are, to explore new ideas for combating these epidemics, to share stories and begin to break down the stigmas, and to work together toward change.
