After losing two great young people to opioid abuse over the past couple years, a dedicated group of friends and family have come together to form The Forest Park Project, a non-profit organization in their honor in an effort to combat this devastating epidemic.

Through their compassion and charisma, Brian Metzger and Christian Diaz touched scores of people on deep, personal levels. While their losses were devastating enough individually, together, their stories provide yet another illustration of how this epidemic impacts every segment of society.

The goal of The Forest Park Project is to take a multi-faceted approach to attack the issue with a central focus on the establishment of a sober house to help those in serious recovery.
