Colleen Michaelis on the Opioid Crisis at Coppell High: A Mother's Heartfelt Mission

The more people we can reach, the better. Recovery is not about getting good. It's not about a bunch of bad people in a room saying: ok, we got to get good, all right, that's not what it is.
When tragedy strikes, it can either break you or drive you to make a difference. Colleen Michaelis chose the latter after losing her 24-year-old son, Tommy McClenahan, to an accidental opioid overdose in 2018. In this moving episode of 'M2 THE ROCK', hosted by Michael Molthan, Colleen opens up about her personal loss and the devastating opioid epidemic affecting Coppell High School students. Her story is not just one of grief but also of hope and action.
Colleen shares her family's harrowing experience, aiming to shed light on the opioid crisis that often lurks in the shadows, even in affluent communities. She believes that talking openly about addiction is crucial for breaking the stigma and helping others who might be silently suffering. Michael Molthan, who has his own powerful story of overcoming addiction and homelessness, joins Colleen in discussing real solutions to these unmanageable habits.
Throughout the episode, they tackle tough questions: How can communities better support those struggling with addiction? What role does education play in prevention? How do we bring faith and community into the recovery process? The conversation also touches on a notorious drug-infested motel in northwest Dallas that has impacted many lives in Coppell, illustrating how close to home these issues can be. Colleen's mission is clear: to educate, raise awareness, and end the stigma surrounding addiction.
Her courage in turning personal tragedy into a public crusade offers a beacon of hope for families and communities grappling with similar issues. Michael Molthan's empathetic hosting style adds depth to this heartfelt discussion, making it a must-listen for anyone affected by or interested in the opioid crisis. Tune in to hear how Colleen and Michael are working to create a supportive, informed community ready to tackle addiction head-on.
