Youth deserve honesty, care, and real support
YOOT (Youth Overdose/Opioid Task Force) is a Memphis-based coalition working to reduce unintentional youth overdose deaths by addressing substance use disorder as a mental health issue, not a moral failure.
FIND THE RIGHT PLACE TO START
YOOT supports young people, families, and the community working together to reduce overdose deaths and strengthen mental health support.
