It's easier for people to stand up and be like: yeah, me too I want in on this and I want to support this absolutely.
What do you do when faced with unimaginable loss? Joe and Joni Maffei, founders of The Mighty Drum, turned their grief into a powerful mission to help others. In this episode of 'Collateral Damage', hosts Michael Wilson and Maureen Cavanagh sit down with the Maffeis to discuss their journey following the tragic overdose of their son Brian in 2015.
Instead of being consumed by sorrow, Joe and Joni channeled their pain into creating The Mighty Drum, a non-profit organization dedicated to helping people access addiction treatment. They share how their personal experience with loss fuels their passion for breaking down barriers to treatment and supporting families in similar situations. The conversation also touches on the new music video 'Rise Above The Noise', featuring Maureen Cavanagh and her daughter Katie Harvey.
This video, inspired by the New York Times bestseller 'If You Love Me', portrays the daily struggles of addiction and the hope for recovery. Joe and Joni discuss the impact of storytelling through music and media in changing perceptions about addiction. By sharing their story, they aim to inspire others to join the fight against addiction stigma and support those in recovery.
If you're looking for a story of resilience and action in the face of tragedy, this episode is a must-listen.
