Hope can drive a lot of great things in our lifetime. So we need to give them hope and we need to build our programs that make them feel as though they have a reason to get up in the morning and go.
Picture this: you're leaving jail, ready to turn your life around, but the support you need is hard to find. In this compelling episode of 'Courage to Hope', host Tony Lagreca sits down with Norfolk County Sheriff Patrick McDermott to discuss the challenges and triumphs of sobriety post-incarceration. Sheriff McDermott brings a wealth of experience and shares eye-opening stories about the importance of Narcan in saving lives and the critical need for continuity of care after leaving jail.
He passionately talks about breaking the stigma surrounding addiction and how public-private partnerships can pave the way for effective support service centers. One of the standout moments is McDermott's account of a farm project in Thailand, offering a safe haven for girls discarded by society, showing that hope and recovery can come from the most unexpected places. This episode is filled with valuable insights and practical advice for anyone touched by addiction or involved in recovery efforts.
Sheriff McDermott's call to action is clear: give people hope, create programs that matter, and make a real difference in their lives. Tune in for an inspiring conversation that underscores the power of community and the relentless fight for a better future.
