RENEWAL is a purpose-built streaming platform and second-screen engagement experience that turns film and television into tools for insight, empathy, and healing from addiction and mental health struggles.
OUR PROBLEM
In 2024, an estimated 61.5 million American adults lived with a mental illness. 29.3 million had an alcohol use disorder. 27.1 million had a drug use disorder.
That's roughly 1 in 4 adults facing mental illness, and about 1 in 9 facing an addiction to alcohol or drugs.
Mental health and substance use disorders cost the U.S. an estimated $1.6–$1.9 trillion every year.
That cost reaches all of us—in healthcare spending, lost productivity, and premature death.
But behind all these numbers are people, families, and communities.
Including yours.
WHAT IF THE SCREEN BECAME PART OF THE SOLUTION?
Decades of peer-reviewed research show that stories and visuals can move people in ways facts and advice alone often cannot.
Yet there is no dedicated streaming destination for films, series, documentaries, and short-form content about addiction, recovery, and mental health.
RENEWAL solves this problem and meets people where they already spend 6-8 hours of their day: watching screens.
Every piece of carefully curated content on the platform is selected for its honest, dignified portrayal of struggle, relapse, healing, and hope—and its power to open conversations and spark reflection.
A free second-screen app helps viewers interact with what they watch and find practical resources when they need them.
RENEWAL will support people before, during, and after treatment, including those who may never have access to care.
It is purpose-designed to complement clinical care and extend connection beyond it.
HOW IT WORKS
WATCH. ENGAGE. GROW.
