I felt that it was put on my heart to create those same experiences, create those same programs, those same opportunities that I had for others.
Sarah Nerad knows firsthand the challenges of addiction, having faced her own battle starting at age 15. Now, as the Program Manager for Ohio State University's Collegiate Recovery Community and the Director of Recovery for the Higher Education Center for Alcohol and Drug Misuse Prevention in Recovery, she's turning her experience into a beacon of hope for students.
In this episode of the Cover2 Resources PPT Podcast, host Greg Mcneil sits down with Sarah to discuss her inspiring journey and the incredible work she's doing at OSU. Drawing inspiration from a supportive high school community in Houston, TX, Sarah has created a robust recovery program at OSU that offers scholarships, housing, a dedicated lounge, and priority registration for students in recovery.
The program also includes recovery house meetings and regular outreach to local treatment centers, ensuring a strong network of support. But Sarah's mission doesn't stop there. She's working on opening a charter school in Central Ohio specifically for students recovering from alcohol and drug addiction. Her story is one of resilience and dedication, emphasizing the importance of community involvement in the recovery process. Tune in to hear how Sarah is making a tangible difference, one student at a time.
