We show a little slide and a powerpoint on famous musicians, actors. Then what I don't tell anybody until the very end is that the real reason why I'm doing this is because I lost three kids to my little league baseball team I coached and one of them was my own son.
Imagine attending a school assembly where the power of music meets a heartfelt message on drug prevention. In this episode of the 'Cover2 Resources' podcast, Jeff Mozingo and Joe Richardson, the founders of the Awaken Project, share their journey of turning personal tragedy into a beacon of hope. The Awaken Project isn't your typical lecture; it's a live multimedia music event designed to captivate and educate young minds about the dangers of drug use.
Jeff and Joe's partnership began at a golf tournament, where a prayer for Joe's son, who tragically died from a heroin overdose, set the stage for something extraordinary. Jeff describes their collaboration as 'God bringing us together for a positive message'. Throughout the episode, they discuss the profound impact their presentations have had on schools and communities across the country.
They emphasize the importance of creative approaches in drug prevention education and share practical advice for parents and communities striving to combat opioid addiction. Jeff's personal story of loss and resilience adds a deeply moving layer to their advocacy, making this episode both inspiring and informative. Whether you're directly affected by addiction or simply interested in innovative prevention strategies, this episode offers valuable insights and a powerful message of hope.
