Violence in Many Quarters is the number one public health issue that communities are facing, and the effects of violence, the long-term effects, the traumatization that takes place of both victims- and by that I mean the actual person who's physically harmed by violence- as well as their families and communities, are really living in a realm of trauma.
Imagine dedicating your entire life to public service and making a significant impact on countless lives. That's exactly what John F. White Jr. has done. In this episode of Recovery Radio, host Steve Martorano chats with White, the President and CEO of The Consortium, an award-winning behavioral health service provider in Philadelphia. White’s journey from a Pennsylvania state representative to a Philadelphia City Councilman and Secretary of Welfare for the Commonwealth showcases his unwavering dedication to helping others.
But his work doesn't stop there. At The Consortium, White focuses on providing addiction treatment that’s accessible to everyone, regardless of their financial situation. He shares how the organization tackles not just addiction but also the societal issues intertwined with it, such as trauma, violence, and homelessness. The conversation also touches on the evolving discussion around opioid addiction and the crucial role of community-based solutions.
White’s passion for open access and dialogue shines through as he discusses the need for hospitals and other institutions to play a more active role in addressing the opioid crisis. This episode is a testament to the profound difference one person can make in the fight against addiction. Tune in to hear White’s inspiring story and learn more about The Consortium's mission to provide comprehensive support for those in need.
