It affects all of us, and the company Leidos is one of the biggest companies that are really getting behind it, and their CEO, Roger Krohn, who we are going to be interviewing next, said: 'we are all in.'
Imagine the heartbreak of losing a child to addiction. In this poignant episode of Steppin' Out Radio, John Hindman opens up about his son Sean's battle with opioid addiction. Sean was a bright, athletic young man who fell into the grip of prescription painkillers during his teenage years. Despite numerous rehab attempts and unwavering family support, Sean tragically passed away from a heroin overdose at the age of thirty.
John shares the raw and emotional journey of watching his son struggle and ultimately succumb to addiction. He also talks about his own path to becoming an advocate for better addiction treatment and prevention. Through his story, John sheds light on the devastating impact of addiction on families and the critical need for community support and effective solutions. This episode is a touching reminder of the human cost of the opioid crisis and the collective effort required to combat it.
