A Call to Action: Father Pizzarelli's Vision for Combating Opioid Addiction

We need to take our heads out of the sand and demand more treatment. Demand that insurance companies stop killing our young people for their refusal to pay and the misinformation that at times they give families that are struggling to want to do the right thing but don't know what to do.
How do we transform the heartbreak of overdose into a powerful force for change? Father Frank Pizzarelli, a Montfort Missionary Roman Catholic priest, tackles this question head-on in this episode of HOPECAST. With decades of experience in drug and alcohol education, Father Pizzarelli brings a unique blend of compassion and expertise to the table.
He shares the tragic story of Casey Flynn, a young woman whose life was cut short by addiction, and uses her story to underscore the urgent need for more support and treatment services. His plea for a National Day of Prayer and Action aims to shine a spotlight on the opioid epidemic and galvanize communities into demanding better resources.
Whether you're personally affected by addiction or simply want to make a difference, this episode offers a heartfelt call to action that you won't want to miss.
