Empower Mothers. Inspire Change. Create Drug-Free Families.

Welcome to the PhotoVoice Project, an empowering initiative for mothers and mothers-to-be in recovery from substance use in Pinellas, Hillsborough, and Pasco counties. This transformative project combines photography and storytelling to give participants a platform to share their experiences, connect with others, and advocate for healthier, drug-free futures for their families.

Through this six-month journey, participants will have the opportunity to connect with a supportive community, explore the power of visual storytelling, and contribute to meaningful change. This project aims to raise awareness about the importance of substance use prevention, celebrate the strength of mothers, and inspire collective action for healthier communities.
