At Hanley Foundation, we Educate, Change Minds, and Save Lives. Since 1984, Hanley Foundation has been working to prevent substance use disorders, training professionals to identify the signs and symptoms, ensuring individuals and families are not kept from recovery due to financial hardship, helping thousands find recovery through treatment, and changing the conversation to one of understanding and empathy. We have made significant progress against an ever-growing challenge.
In Loving Memory
Mary Jane Hanley, the co-founder and visionary behind Hanley Center and
Hanley Foundation, passed on October 28th, 2024. Without the groundbreaking vision and tireless work of both Mary Jane and Jack Hanley, countless individuals would not have experienced the life-changing reality of recovery.
Join us in remembering and honoring their profound legacy, which has
forever illuminated pathways to hope and healing.

A Year of Growth
Dear Friends,
As we reflect on four decades of impact, we are filled with profound gratitude for your unwavering support of Hanley Foundation. For more than 40 years, your commitment has been the cornerstone of our ability to bring healing and hope to individuals and families affected by the disease of addiction.
During the past fiscal year (July 1, 2023 – June 30, 2024), our prevention programs made a significant impact, reaching over 163,000 students across 32 Florida counties.
Through our evidence-based programs, we proactively worked to delay first
substance use, a critical protective factor shown by research to significantly reduce the likelihood of developing a substance use disorder.
Beyond our prevention efforts, we awarded nearly 350 treatment and recovery scholarships to those in need.
Through our Lifesaver Scholarship Program, we continued to break down financial barriers and ensure access to the high-quality care vital for lasting recovery.
Another significant milestone in our journey during fiscal year 2024 was the
acquisition of Hanley Center on December 8, 2023. Bringing the center back to its nonprofit roots has allowed us to create a center of excellence for behavioral health that is actively contributing to research and education in our field.
Our patient-centric, evidence-based, holistic treatment maintained an average satisfaction score of 99.25%, laying the groundwork for meaningful and sustained recovery.
Thanks to the generosity of our lead donors, Hanley’s $35 million Campaign for Recovery is well on its way to expanding services for underserved populations, including veterans, first responders, peripartum women, and children affected by addiction.
Later this year and into 2026, construction on our Resource Center will
allow us to offer innovative vocational and life skills initiatives, including a planned coffee shop and bookstore staffed by our own recovery community.
Together, we will continue to break barriers, revolutionize recovery, and bring behavioral healthcare into the next era. Thank you for your unwavering commitment to turning our vision into reality.
With sincere appreciation,
Dr. Rachel Docekal Chief Executive Officer & Chip James, Chairman of the Board
