OneStepHope's hope-filled stories have reached tens of thousands of individuals. As a 501(c)3 nonprofit, our work aims to encourage, inspire, and educate affected individuals and families. We also work to highlight and support initiatives and efforts addressing key gaps in the recovery ecosystem. A large majority (85%) of Americans dealing with substance-related addictions -- substance use disorders -- do not get any care or support. Stigma, shame, and questions about the process are the leading reasons why.
By highlighting the possibilities and opportunity that recovery can represent, and speaking openly about the process, we believe more individuals can start their healing journey sooner. OneStepHope celebrates sobriety and any step individuals take toward help and greater health, and invites individuals to continue their own exploration of wellness and development of a flourishing life.

Can you imagine a world where...

...those struggling with addiction become a positive, transformative force for society?
This is what we dream about at OneStepHope, and why we have begun with a focus on story. There are many gaps and needs to be addressed around recovery, and many great organizations doing important work. Our focus starts with breaking stigma and shame by changing the conversation. The message must be heard that recovery is possible, and that it can be the beginning of a rediscovery of life.
What we know and what we have seen shapes what we believe is possible. In each story we capture, and each organization we support, we celebrate the transformative growth process because we believe that it has the power to inspire and encourage others. No matter the pathway or challenge, the human experience is meant to be one of growth. Recovery -- as painful, challenging, and difficult as it may be -- can provide an incredible opportunity for the discovery of value, connection, community, and more.

tHE POWER OF STORY
OUR STORYTELLING PROCESS
OneStepHope partners with talented creatives around the country to capture content with the excellence and quality appropriate for the incredible stories being captured. OneStepHope shares its stories through YouTube, social media channels, and its partner content organization OneStep. It also partners with other organizations looking for help in creating high-quality video content around wellness, recovery, and mental and emotional health.
Our approach is guided by a focus on capturing authentic stories of hope and growth, where individuals have truly discovered connection, purpose, calling, community, and other positive aspects of life. Wellbeing of the subject is the most important factor for us in the storytelling process. These factors make us selective in the process of identifying story subjects, and we have developed unique practices to work with them and capture their story. We recognize that recovery looks, feels, and is different for individuals, and so is what defines success. However, we believe that by sharing stories of individuals that have found greater meaning, connection, and purpose, we can frame recovery in a positive light and inspire many to get help in building, or rebuilding, a flourishing life.
