Christopher Wolf passed after a 14 year battle with opioid misuse and dependency. Like so many others, his battle with opioid dependency began with a prescription. Christopher was diagnosed with Ulcerative Colitis in middle school. This diagnosis led to countless surgeries and a lifelong struggle with pain management the foundation of which was opioids.
When Christopher passed, Cammie Wolf Rice, his mother, transmuted her pain into purpose. She’s dedicating her life to preventing other mothers from the soul crushing pain of losing a child.
In 2018, Cammie founded the CWC Alliance (Christopher Wolf Crusade) to end opioid misuse before it begins. After all of the time that Cammie spent in the hospital with Christopher, she recognized a fundamental need for prevention. There was not one professional on Christopher’s medical team to educate him and his family about the risks of his pain medication. As a result, Christopher struggled with opioid misuse and passed away from it.
Our goal is to provide opioid education and resources as well as mental wellness skills training directly to hospital inpatients and outpatients to ensure they are well supported during recovery. This support is provided by CWC Alliance’s Life Care Specialist, a Care Coach who personally sees the patient through to recovery. In addition, CWC Alliance’s Be Well Program provides patients and their families with the resources necessary to ensure a substance-free future post-recovery.

A stress ball. An educational resource. Time to understand how a tool might fit into someone’s day. Life Care Specialists pair practical tools with trauma-informed education about pain management and opioid-risk awareness. The items are one part of the work. The person using them remains the focus. #CWCAlliance #LifeCareSpecialists #PainManagementEducation #OpioidPrevention

Every portrait holds a life, a story, and someone deeply loved. Last night, Cammie Wolf Rice (@cammierice) attended the opening of INTO LIGHT’s “Drug Addiction: Real People, Real Stories” Georgia exhibit. Christopher’s portrait and narrative are featured alongside 29 others lost to the addiction crisis, honoring who they were and the lives they touched. Thank you to INTO LIGHT PROJECT (@intolightproject), Theresa Clower (@theresaflo.ra.ldesign) (Devin's mom), The Recovery Spot of West Georgia, and Mayor Betty Cason for bringing this beautiful tribute to Georgia. Thank you to Brian Kite for sharing your story and uplifting our angels. It was our honor to stand with other families, Bruce Guthrie (@thebruceguthrie) (Cody's dad), Jennifer English (Cage's mom), Paul Gourley (Adam's dad), Kristi Smith (Zeb's partner), and Maria LePage (Christopher's mom), to remember our loved ones. Visit the exhibit at Carrollton Center for the Arts, Roush Family Gallery, now through December 14, or explore the portraits and stories online: https://intolightproject.org/exhibits/georgia-fall-2026/ #CWCAlliance #IntoLightProject #RealPeopleRealStories #StigmaReduction #ChristophersLegacy

Before the holiday calendar fills up, leave some room for yourself. That might mean keeping an evening free, making time for something you enjoy, or choosing fewer commitments. Whether you are navigating recovery, supporting someone you love, or simply managing a busy season, your needs deserve consideration too. Save this as a reminder when the invitations start coming. #CWCAlliance #SelfCare #MentalWellness #RecoverySupport

This spotlight from the Prescription for Prevention Conference captures a meaningful moment of remembrance and connection. Some connections carry meaning across years, distance, and loss. During Prescription for Prevention, Cammie reflected on a mission trip to Cambodia with Christopher and the physicians who joined them. Having one of those friends in the room ten years later, on Christopher’s birthday, was a powerful reminder of the relationships that continue to surround this mission. Thank you to everyone who continues to show up, remember Christopher, and help turn connection into meaningful action. 💜 #CWCAlliance #PrescriptionForPrevention #ConnectionMatters #OpioidPrevention #PreventionInAction

A number cannot tell the whole story of someone’s experience with pain. Good conversations make room for questions, preferences, concerns, and the options a person understands. CWC Alliance supports informed, whole-person pain education so patients can feel better prepared to participate in their care. #CWCAlliance #PainManagement #PatientEducation #OpioidPrevention

Happy Birthday to our fearless Founder and CEO, Cammie Wolf Rice! Cammie, thank you for everything you pour into our mission and our team. We hope your day is as amazing as you are!

A health crisis affects more than the person receiving care. Caregivers may also be trying to understand pain, medications, next steps, and how to be helpful without taking over. Life Care Specialist education can include patients and caregivers, helping both feel more informed as they navigate recovery. #CWCAlliance #LifeCareSpecialists #PatientEducation #CaregiverSupport

Red Ribbon Week begins today. This national prevention campaign brings schools, families, and communities together to raise awareness about substance misuse and encourage healthy, informed choices among young people. Prevention is strongest when youth have trusted adults, honest conversations, practical coping skills, and supportive environments where they feel safe asking questions. By participating in Red Ribbon Week, communities help reinforce a shared message: young people do not have to navigate difficult decisions alone. YPN is supported by funding from the Georgia Opioid Crisis Abatement Trust (GOCAT). #CWCAlliance #YouthPreventionNetwork #RedRibbonWeek #SubstanceMisusePrevention #CommunitySupport

Life Care Specialists are becoming an integrated part of the care team at Grady. What began with orthopedic care has expanded to support patients experiencing burns, sickle cell disease, and other acute and chronic pain conditions. With three Life Care Specialists and a coordinator now serving at Grady, the program continues to reach more patients while expanding into rural communities and other states. This is what prevention in healthcare can look like: compassionate support built directly into patient care. #CWCAlliance #LifeCareSpecialist #PatientSupport #PainManagement #OpioidPrevention

Prevention works upstream. October is Prevention Month, a time to recognize the power of clearer information, stronger coping skills, honest conversations, and support before a difficult moment becomes a crisis. CWC Alliance brings these tools into healthcare settings, youth programs, and communities. #CWCAlliance #SubstanceMisusePrevention #PreventionMonth #PreventionWorks #CommunityHealth

No one expects a prescribed medication to become the beginning of opioid dependency. Some people experience an unusually strong sense of euphoria or emotional relief when first taking an opioid. Recognizing and communicating that response can help patients and care teams make more informed decisions about pain management and medication safety. If something about a medication feels concerning, talk with your healthcare provider before making any changes. Awareness is an important part of prevention. #CWCAlliance #OpioidPrevention #MedicationSafety #PainManagement #PreventionMatters

CWC Alliance was honored to join Georgia Attorney General Chris Carr for his final Statewide Opioid Task Force meeting at Georgia State University. Since launching the Task Force in 2017, Attorney General Carr has helped bring together hundreds of public, private, and nonprofit partners while securing more than $1 billion for opioid treatment, prevention, and recovery efforts across Georgia. During the meeting, Cammie Wolf Rice shared an update on CWC’s Life Care Specialist Program and Youth Prevention Network, along with a message at the heart of our work: meaningful progress happens through partnership. We are grateful to Attorney General Carr for nine years of leadership and collaboration, and to Commissioner Kevin Tanner and Jeff Breedlove, founder of AARA, for their continued support and advocacy. For Cammie, the day also carried deep personal meaning as Christopher’s 10th heavenly birthday approached. His memory continues to inspire this mission and every effort to prevent other families from experiencing the same loss. 💜 Georgia has an opportunity to lead through prevention, education, treatment, and recovery. It will take all of us working together. YPN is supported by funding from the Georgia Opioid Crisis Abatement Trust (GOCAT). #CWCAlliance #OpioidPrevention #LifeCareSpecialist #YouthPreventionNetwork #CommunityPartnership

Recovery starts with understanding. The words we use can either create distance or open the door to support. By speaking about substance misuse with compassion, listening without judgment, and continuing to learn, we can help reduce stigma and make it easier for people to seek help. Every person deserves dignity, understanding, and hope. #CWCAlliance #StigmaReduction #RecoverySupport #CompassionInCare #SupportWithoutShame

Education. Partnership. Community impact. The Prescription for Prevention Annual Conference brought professionals and advocates together to share knowledge, explore solutions, and strengthen Georgia’s response to the opioid crisis. From presentations and panel discussions to meaningful conversations and shared resources, every part of the day reflected what prevention in action can look like. Thank you to everyone who helped move this work forward. #PrescriptionForPrevention #CWCAlliance #OpioidPrevention #GeorgiaHealthcare #PreventionInAction

We're proud to share that our founder and CEO, Cammie Wolf Rice, has been named one of this year's Most Admired CEOs by the Atlanta Business Chronicle. The timing could not be more serendipitous. Years ago, Cammie sat down with Donna Hyland, president and CEO of Children's Healthcare of Atlanta (CHOA), who is being honored this year with the Lifetime Achievement Award. Donna shared how effective the Child Life Specialist role had been for CHOA's young patients, but pointed out there was nothing like it for patients admitted to general or adult hospitals. That conversation was the spark for the Life Care Specialist model, to help fill the gaps that Cammie and Christopher had faced. From that idea came a pilot program at Grady Memorial Hospital. From that pilot came a Harvard Business School case study. From Life Care Specialists in one hospital to nine and counting across Georgia and Arkansas, this recognition reflects the evolution of the LCS program and the ongoing need for this kind of role. Congratulations to Cammie, Donna, and all of this year's Most Admired CEOs. #CWCAlliance #MostAdmiredCEOs #OpioidPrevention #LifeCareSpecialist

The Prescription for Prevention Conference was more than a successful event. It was a room filled with people committed to making a difference. On Christopher’s birthday, physicians, nurses, people in recovery, community leaders, advocates, law enforcement, Life Care Specialists, and partners came together to confront the opioid crisis through education, compassion, and action. CWC Alliance is deeply grateful to Dean Jean Sumner, the Mercer University team, the Georgia Rural Health Innovation Center, our speakers, attendees, and everyone who helped make this meaningful day possible. Thank you for turning a day of grief into one filled with purpose, connection, and hope. 💜 #PrescriptionForPrevention #CWCAlliance #OpioidPrevention #PreventionInAction #CommunityPartnership

Recovery is possible, and no one should have to walk that path alone. During National Recovery Month, we honor the strength of those in recovery, recognize the people who support them, and continue working toward communities where everyone is met with dignity, compassion, and hope. Support without shame can help make healing possible. 💜 #NationalRecoveryMonth #CWCAlliance #RecoveryIsPossible #StigmaReduction #SupportWithoutShame

Together, we are strengthening prevention across Georgia. 💜 #PrescriptionForPrevention #CWCAlliance #OpioidPrevention #CommunityPartnership #PreventionInAction

Today, we honor Christopher Wolf’s 10th Heavenly Birthday. Ten years ago, our founder, Cammie Wolf Rice, lost her son Christopher – her oldest child, a hugger, someone who was curious, energetic, and kind to his core. As she has said, “My Christopher had a heart as big as his smile.” Christopher is the reason CWC Alliance exists. Every Life Care Specialist we train, every family we educate, every hospital that adopts our model – it all traces back to him. Today isn’t just about grief. It’s about gratitude for who he was and the lives being protected in his name.

Prevention is in motion this year. From trainings and conferences to youth prevention and community outreach, CWC Alliance is continuing to bring education, mental wellness tools, and support into the spaces where they can make a difference. Every conversation, every training, and every connection helps move prevention forward. #CWCAlliance #PreventionInMotion #OpioidPrevention #YouthPrevention #MentalWellness

Prevention Education Starts with Trust Prevention conversations are more powerful when they begin with trust. Before someone can ask questions, share concerns, or receive support, they need to feel safe, heard, and respected. That is why prevention education is not just about information. It is about connection, compassion, and meeting people where they are. YPN is supported by funding from the Georgia Opioid Crisis Abatement Trust (GOCAT). #CWCAlliance #OpioidPrevention #PreventionEducation #TrustMatters #CommunityCare

Pain is real, and no one should feel ashamed for needing support. Patients deserve education, options, and guidance that help them understand pain, medication safety, and ways to care for their whole well-being. Support without shame can change the way people move through difficult moments. #CWCAlliance #LifeCareSpecialist #PainSupport #OpioidPrevention #CompassionInCare

Mental wellness support should be rooted in dignity, access, and understanding. During BIPOC Mental Health Month, we recognize the importance of culturally aware care, trusted support systems, and conversations that honor each person’s lived experience. Everyone deserves to feel seen, heard, and supported. #CWCAlliance #BIPOCMentalHealthMonth #MentalWellness #CompassionInCare #DignityInCare

CWC Alliance was proud to serve as a presenting sponsor for Rabun Strong: Youth and Family Wellness Day this past Saturday.

We also loved having Cammie’s granddaughter join us for the event. Prevention is stronger when communities come together. #CWCAlliance #RabunStrong #YouthWellness #FamilyWellness #CommunityPrevention #PreventionMatters

Stress does not always show up as a thought. Sometimes, it shows up in the body. Tension, shallow breathing, restlessness, fatigue, or feeling on edge can all be signs that your nervous system is asking for support. Noticing the signal is the first step. From there, small tools like breathing, grounding, movement, or asking for help can make a difference. #CWCAlliance #MentalWellness #StressSupport #Resilience #PreventionMatters

This Fourth of July, we’re wishing everyone a safe and meaningful holiday. As we celebrate freedom, community, and time with loved ones, may we also remember the importance of caring for one another and building healthier futures together. Happy Independence Day from CWC Alliance. #FourthOfJuly #IndependenceDay #CWCAlliance #CommunityCare #PreventionMatters

"I need the drug like you need air to breathe." That is what Christopher said to Cammie at the dinner table. Opioid dependence fundamentally changes the brain. It creates a level of need that can feel impossible to understand if you haven't experienced it or seen it up close. That's why it's so important to talk about it. If we want to change the stigma around addiction, we have to be willing to say some of the hard things out loud. If you or a someone you love needs support, call the helpline at 770-300-9828 Thank you to WATC TV 57 (@watctvatlanta) and Kim Crabill (@kimcrabillofficial) for having Cammie on Atlanta Live and for making space for this conversation.

Support matters most before the hard moment becomes a crisis. Life Care Specialists help patients feel informed, grounded, and supported as they navigate pain, stress, and uncertainty. Sometimes prevention looks like education. Sometimes it looks like someone sitting beside you and helping you breathe through what comes next. #CWCAlliance #LifeCareSpecialist #PatientSupport #PreventionInAction #CompassionInCare

Everyone needs a coping toolbox. Breathing exercises, movement, journaling, meditation. Not every tool works for everyone, and that’s okay. The goal is to build a set of skills you can return to when life feels overwhelming. Resilience grows one tool, one moment, and one step at a time. #CWCAlliance #MentalWellness #Resilience #HealthyCoping #PreventionMatters

Men’s mental health matters. Talking about stress, asking for support, and making time for wellness are not signs of weakness. They are part of taking care of your overall health. This month, we’re recognizing the importance of creating space for honest conversations, support, and care. #CWCAlliance #MensMentalHealth #MentalWellness #SupportIsStrength #PreventionMatters

Built with youth, not just for youth. The Youth Prevention Network centers young people as leaders, advocates, and voices for change in their own communities.

If you’re a teen and things feel overwhelming, reaching out for help is a sign of strength.

Sometimes prevention begins with something simple: a conversation. Education, empathy, and early support can change the course of a patient’s recovery. Life Care Specialists help identify warning signs that are often overlooked, from unmanaged pain and isolation to untreated trauma and lack of education around opioids. When patients are supported early, the path forward can look very different.

This Pride Month, we honor the strength, dignity, and humanity of the LGBTQ+ community. Everyone deserves to feel seen, supported, and safe in their journey toward mental wellness.

This month and always, we celebrate the power of affirmation, community, and care. #PrideMonth #CWCAlliance #MentalWellness #PreventionMatters #CompassionInCare

If today feels heavy, try a small reset. Step outside for a few minutes. Drink a glass of water slowly. Take a few deep breaths and give your mind a moment to pause. Resilience isn’t built in big moments. It’s built through small choices that help you steady yourself and keep moving forward. #CWCAlliance #MentalWellness #Resilience #SelfCare #CompassionInCare

Prevention can happen in many places. At the bedside. In youth programs. Through everyday mental wellness education.

YPN is supported by funding from the Georgia Opioid Crisis Abatement Trust (GOCAT). #CWCAlliance #PreventionInAction #LifeCareSpecialist #YouthPreventionNetwork #MentalWellness

Real skills. Real situations. Prevention is about what happens before the moment. Building confidence, setting boundaries, and knowing how to respond under pressure.

We were proud to have our Director of Youth Programming, Phylicia Hancle, present at NAMICon 2026 on the power of youth-led prevention. Her session, Mental Wellness Is Substance Use Prevention: Building Youth-Led Systems That Work, highlighted the Youth Prevention Network (YPN), a statewide initiative created by CWC Alliance and Resilient Georgia that equips young people with practical tools for mental wellness, healthy decision-making, and peer leadership. By centering youth voice and building skills that young people can carry into their schools, homes, and communities, YPN is helping create the next generation of prevention leaders.

What if talking about mental health felt as normal as talking about school, sports, or music? Through the Youth Prevention Network, CWC Alliance and Resilient Georgia help young people build the language and confidence to talk about stress, emotions, and support before challenges become crises. Prevention starts with conversation. This program is supported by funding from the Georgia Opioid Crisis Abatement Trust (GOCAT). Learn more at cwc.ngo. #CWCAlliance #YouthPreventionNetwork #MentalWellness #PreventionMatters #StartTheConversation

In moments of pain, what matters most is feeling supported, informed, and not alone. A calm presence, clear guidance, and someone who can help make sense of what comes next can change the entire experience. That is part of the value a Life Care Specialist brings by helping people feel grounded in difficult moments. Support matters. So does being seen. 💜 #CWCAlliance #LifeCareSpecialist #PatientSupport #CompassionInCare #PreventionInAction

When stress feels loud, you do not have to solve everything at once. Start with one steady thing. Your breath. Your feet on the ground. A sound in the room. A simple point of focus can help bring you back to the present. Small tools like this can create space for calm, clarity, and support when it matters most. 💜 #CWCAlliance #MentalWellness #StressSupport #ResilienceTools #CompassionInCare

The Youth Prevention Network is building the next generation of prevention leaders. Through this statewide initiative, CWC Alliance and Resilient Georgia equip teens and the adults who support them with tools for mental wellness, healthy decision-making, and opioid and fentanyl education. When young people are empowered to choose themselves and support one another, real change becomes possible. This program is supported by funding from the Georgia Opioid Crisis Abatement Trust (GOCAT). Learn more or get connected at cwc.ngo. #CWCAlliance #YouthPreventionNetwork #YouthLeadership #OpioidPrevention #MentalWellness

Resilience isn’t built all at once. It shows up in small shifts, like a deeper breath, relaxed shoulders, or a clearer thought. These moments may seem simple, but they’re signs your mind and body are learning to regulate. Pause and notice the shift. Small shifts count. #CWCAlliance #Resilience #MentalWellness #Regulation #SmallWins

Prevention does not start in a crisis. It starts with conversations, confidence, and connection. The Youth Prevention Network equips teens with the tools to care for their mental wellness, make safer choices, and support one another before harm happens. This is prevention done early. This is youth leading change. #YouthPrevention #MentalWellness #Resilience #CWCAlliance
