I think that's going to be especially important for Alberta come the next election.
Imagine growing up in Venezuela, facing trauma that shadows you into adulthood. That's Megan's story. In this episode of 'Voices in Recovery', Megan opens up about her challenging youth and how it shaped her life. She dives into her journey of understanding trauma and the profound impact it had on her mental health and relationships. But Megan's tale is not just about hardship; it's about finding strength and purpose through adversity.
Megan shares her eye-opening experiences in Canada, where she learned about the country's history of Indigenous genocide and grappled with the realities of racism. Her work with the Horizon Housing Society exposed her to the harsh truths of homelessness and poverty, fueling her passion for social justice. She talks candidly about the need for systemic change, including police reform and the importance of mental health professionals in certain situations.
Throughout the conversation, Megan emphasizes the power of community-led solutions and the crucial role of voting and civic engagement. Her story is a testament to resilience and the human spirit's capacity to find hope and purpose even in the darkest times. Megan's advocacy work is a beacon for those struggling, showing that recovery is possible and that one's voice can indeed make a difference.
