Stronger Together: Recognizing Leadership and Partnership in Virginia

At 2 End The Stigma, we understand that real change happens through strong partnerships—and we are incredibly grateful for the leadership and support of Glenn Youngkin and Suzanne Youngkin.

Throughout their time serving the Commonwealth of Virginia, their commitment to raising awareness and addressing substance use disorder has made a meaningful impact across communities. Through initiatives like Right Help. Right Now. and It Only Takes One, they have helped shift conversations, increase awareness, and bring critical attention to the dangers of fentanyl and illicit drugs.

For organizations like ours, this level of leadership matters.

It creates space for conversations that once felt difficult.

It brings communities together around a shared mission.

And it helps amplify the voices of families and advocates working every day to save lives.

We are especially grateful not only for their public leadership, but for the genuine support shown to 2 End The Stigma and our mission. Building relationships like these strengthens our ability to expand outreach, enhance prevention education, and continue making an impact throughout Virginia and beyond.

As this chapter of leadership comes to a close, one thing remains certain—the work does not stop here.

Our mission continues.

Our partnerships continue.

And our commitment to serving communities, including expanding efforts in places like Petersburg, continues to grow.

Because when leaders, advocates, and communities come together, we create lasting change.
