HARRODSBURG, KY (November 19, 2025) – Isaiah House (IH) is proud to announce a new partnership with The Tristan Project, a faith-based nonprofit dedicated to supporting youth and families in the areas of mental health, addiction prevention, and hope-filled living. Through this collaboration, IH and The Tristan Project will jointly promote and educate teens about substance use disorders (SUD), drug prevention, and the connection between emotional health and healthy choices.
The Tristan Project, founded in memory of Tristan Brown, exists to ensure “every child and teen deserves to feel seen, supported, and loved.” Their mission is to bridge the gap between young people in need and mental-health resources that can change—or even save—their lives. Their prevention efforts emphasize early identification of emotional or mental-health struggles and offering healthy coping tools before a teen turns to drugs or alcohol.
Isaiah House, Kentucky’s largest Christ-centered nonprofit recovery organization, offers evidence-based, holistic care for individuals struggling with substance use disorder—addressing physical, spiritual, educational and occupational needs.
The goals of our partnership include:
- Delivering in-school and community-based educational sessions for teens about SUD risks, warning signs, and prevention strategies
- Providing teens and their families access to resources that support mental health, healthy decisionmaking, and faith-rooted hope
- Highlighting the link between untreated emotional pain and the potential turn toward substance use— aligning with The Tristan Project’s focus on prevention and IH’s mission of recovery and restoration
- Engaging community partners, youth leaders, and educators to build a coordinated network of support around teens at risk
“We are excited to join hands with The Tristan Project,” said Kara Ball, Chief Development and Communications Officer at Isaiah House. “Together we can reach more teens before crisis strikes, helping them discover hope, purpose and healthy alternatives rather than turning to drugs to cope.”
“We know that prevention starts with connection and compassion,” said Lindsey Brown, Founder and President of The Tristan Project. “By working alongside Isaiah House, we’re able to offer teens a clearer path— one rooted in healing, support, and positive choices.
Education sessions will begin in 2026 across the Central Kentucky-area school districts and will be open to teens, parents and guardians.
