The number one public safety issue is untreated trauma, because everything that spins out after that is what we see in our streets, we see it in our prisons, we see it everywhere, and it's just symptoms of sick people that have traumas that they've never dealt with.
What happens when you combine a unique therapeutic approach with a passionate leader? You get The Other Side Academy in Salt Lake City, Utah. In this engaging episode of 'Nowhere To Go But Up', host Sean Dustin and guest Shaina Boe sit down with David Durocher, the Executive Director of The Other Side Academy. David shares his incredible journey from addiction and incarceration to leading a program that changes lives every day.
Inspired by David's TEDx talk, Sean and Shaina dive deep into the workings of this extraordinary community. The Other Side Academy isn't your run-of-the-mill rehab center; it's a long-term, self-funded residential program that thrives on accountability and mutual support. Forget government aid or insurance money – this place runs on its own steam, thanks to ventures like thrift stores. At the heart of the Academy's success is its therapeutic community model.
Imagine a place where everyone supports each other through the ups and downs of recovery, holding each other accountable and learning to own their mistakes. Vulnerability and responsibility are key themes here, helping individuals rebuild their lives and relationships. Sean and Shaina had the chance to experience this transformative environment firsthand. From sharing meals with students to walking freely around the campus, they saw how the Academy fosters a sense of belonging and purpose.
Graduates of the program often become its biggest advocates, spreading the word about its life-changing impact. David's story and the mission of The Other Side Academy are truly inspiring. If you're curious about innovative approaches to behavioral change or simply love hearing about real-life transformations, this episode is a must-listen.
