Episode 2: Community Engagement in Action -- RIZE Prevention w/ Martine Helou-Allen

Welcome (back) to the Visionary Nurse® Podcast! The purpose of the podcast is to accompany the work I do as a Community Health Consultant and Coach and Mentor for Nurses (and beyond!), and designed to educate, uplift, and support each other as we dare to be influentially visionary!  As there are so many shifts in healthcare, and many are looking to innovatively expand their knowledge in a variety of settings, it's more important than ever to create sustainable and collaborative changes that cross sectors to influence access to care, business growth, the operation of organizations and institutions, and how we continue to navigate the many changes in our society. In this episode I feature, Martine Helou-Allen, Founder and Executive Director RIZE Prevention Inc., a nonprofit in South Carolina that focuses on early prevention and intervention related to substance abuse and addiction. A graduate of Furman University, Martine’s passion for saving teens from the destructive and increasingly fatal consequences of drug use has enabled her to create innovative, evidence-based prevention programming that is delivered to middle schools, community organizations, and houses of worship. Prior to founding RIZE Prevention, Martine was the Community Relations Director at the Greenville County Sheriff’s Office, an experience that sparked her vision to create and deliver her first drug prevention program “Anything But Free” to teens throughout the state. Martine currently lives in Greenville with her husband Scott and her two sons, Sami and Michael. *If you'd like to learn more about the RIZE prevention, check out more information here: https://www.rizeprevention.org ---------------------------------------------------- Did you enjoy this content?
