This is what other people who I've hosted on my podcast have said as well: that it's something that isn't epidemic in America. It's something that everybody is aware of just recently.
Connor Ross, the voice behind 'Let’s Talk About It', wraps up his senior project with a powerful presentation on breaking the stigma surrounding addiction. Over the past year, Connor has interviewed family members, friends, and those who have triumphed over addiction, creating a tapestry of personal stories that highlight the human side of substance abuse.
In this episode, Connor shares the audio from his final presentation, tackling the question: 'How can we destigmatize addiction and alcohol use in our communities?' He delves into how addiction is a cycle of highs and lows and how sharing these stories can build understanding and empathy. Connor also explores cultural influences like 'Breaking Bad' and The Beatles, shedding light on how they shape perceptions of addiction.
He doesn't shy away from discussing the hurdles of senior projects and emphasizes the role of social media in raising awareness. The episode wraps up with a thought-provoking discussion on the power of language and its impact on addiction. If you're looking to understand addiction from a fresh perspective, this episode offers invaluable insights. Tune in to hear how Connor Ross is breaking down barriers, one story at a time.
