We're on the edge of making a huge change in this country, because I don't know how to do anything on a small way, I only know how to take something.
David Siegel knows the pain of losing a child to opioid addiction all too well. After his daughter Victoria's untimely death, he turned his grief into a powerful mission to prevent others from facing the same fate. In this episode of Cover2 Resources, David shares the compelling continuation of his journey.
He recounts how he took his fight to Congress and beyond, driven by an unwavering sense of urgency to create a national prevention program aimed at stopping drug use before it starts. David's story isn't just about loss; it's about transformation and hope. He talks about the importance of collaboration and partnerships in battling opioid addiction, shedding light on initiatives like Drug-Free Clubs of America. He also discusses the role of drug testing in schools as a preventive measure.
His passion is palpable as he speaks candidly about his personal experiences and the impact of Victoria's diary in helping others. An inspiring encounter with professional wrestler Mark Merrow led to a new prevention initiative, underscoring the unexpected ways in which partnerships can form and thrive. This episode is a testament to David's dedication and offers a hopeful vision for a future where opioid addiction is no longer a national crisis.
