about Nevriye's mission
Nevriye’s mission is to empower mothers to take informed action and help their children.
“My mission started at a funeral for a girl who died from a drug overdose. Seeing the mother saying a last tearful goodbye to her daughter filled me with a determination to end suffering for all moms.
As a mother myself, I could feel what she was going through. I have seen other moms give up on life because of their child’s drug use. They often don’t know what to do or how to cope with this challenge. The shame they feel is so great, they’re embarrassed to reach out for help. They can only suffer in silence.
That’s why I have made it my life’s mission to help mothers lead their loved ones to recovery and sobriety. I’m passionate about educating people about drugs and how to overcome them. I’m constantly learning, and I enjoy sharing new research on substance use, intervention, and prevention.
I was told that it would be a disservice not to teach what I know, and that ‘fulfillment is giving what you have.’ It didn’t take long for this message to hit home and start my life mission.”

Bright Wings & Co. offer research-based data on substance use so parents have the necessary tools to help their loved ones reclaim their lives.
Addiction counseling usually focuses on the addicted person, but rarely does if focus on the parents. The user often lacks the motivation to seek help, while the family is often clueless about what to do.
As a result, precious time is lost. We at Bright Wings Coco see ourselves as the bridge between the mother and the addicted child, empowering both and overcoming this challenging time.
