From Pressure to Power

He never told anyone. Not about the pills. Not about the sleepless nights. Not about why the gym was the only place he felt in control.
When we met him, he was quiet—just another face in a crowded health fair. But a few days later, he applied for an Atlas scholarship with a note that read:

“I didn’t think people like me were supposed to ask for help. Atlas made it feel possible.”

With that scholarship, he launched a peer-led awareness campaign at his school—creating a safe space for open conversations around steroids, masculinity, and pressure.
Today, his work has reached over 100 students—and he’s one of five Atlas-funded leaders combatting gym culture toxicity on the ground.

Atlas doesn’t just support recovery.
It funds redemption—and redefines leadership.

$15,000+ in scholarships awarded
5 recovery ambassadors funded
