SPEAK UP! About Drugs

Gina Allgaier

SPEAK UP! Do you have a voice? Do you know someone who needs a voice? If so, SPEAK UP! Speaking from a recent place of meaning found through a deep loss, Gina is on a mission to move our community to a point where never again will a parent have to say goodbye to their child due to an accidental overdose. Roughly 10 months ago Gina lost her eldest son, Tristan, to a combination of cocaine and fentanyl. Her efforts to get him help, to find resources, and to foster communication among providers became lost in an endless search for help. And in the end, she lost his voice.

Now, Gina’s voice is focused on transforming policy, aligning resources, and creating coordinated care networks around drug and alcohol abuse among teens. Gina’s message is that we all need to SPEAK UP about drugs!
