the harris project is an organization that raises awareness and supports advancements in treatment for teens and young adults with co-occurring disorders (COD).

On the 10-year anniversary of Harris Marquesano’s accidental overdose, for which the foundation is named, we put out a powerful message about the connection between mental health and substance abuse.

This PSA illuminates how experimentation with drugs and alcohol can spiral into self-medication for those with underlying mental health conditions.
