Meet Freedom Frog, a definitely different amphibian whose mission in life is to promote recovery from substance abuse and addiction. He's a Disneyesque mascot with a message. One in 8 Americans is afflicted with the disease, and for every one, 5 to 7 others are affected--our families, co-workers, and friends. |
"Presenting a message of hope, help & recovery from addiction."
|
Freedom Frog and Intervention Helpline, Inc. promote the message of Hope, Help, and Recovery, working with families to confront and overcome addictive behavior. With tools like the "Story of Freedom Frog" coloring book, high-visibility events and appearances, counseling, and workshops on the nature of addiction, Freedom and his friends open the door to recovery. His magnetism is especially appealing to children, persuading them not to start down the path of drug and alcohol use. For adults, Frog represents a non-threatening ally and friend to anyone who hopes to change a pattern of addiction. |

Freedom Frog has traveled throughout the nation to support other non-profit organizations and community substance abuse prevention and education programs. His Hop Across America in 1993 visited more than 50 cities in 28 states. In Anchorage, he's sponsored by the Municipality of Anchorage, organizations such as the Lions, Moose and Rotary, and scores of private corporations and volunteers. |
Freedom Frog is a living reminder that the solution to addiction rests with the entire community "family." |
