Megan Gavin on Shatterproof: Changing the Conversation Around Addiction

We treat this differently than other disease. I have people in my life that don't want me to use that. Similarly, there's gradients in this thing. So, like substance use disorder or addiction is basically the equivalent of abuse, we try not to use the word abuse.
Ever wondered how a single organization can change the way we view addiction? In this episode of 'Addiction & Recovery Conversations with Brett Lovins', Brett chats with Megan Gavin, the Associate VP of Integrated Fundraising for Shatterproof. Brett has long admired Shatterproof for its comprehensive approach to addiction resources and support. Megan shares her personal connection to the cause and the impactful work Shatterproof does to dismantle the stigma around addiction.
They discuss the innovative ATLAS platform, which helps people find reliable treatment options, and highlight the importance of community education and support. Megan passionately explains how changing our language and perceptions about addiction can lead to better outcomes for those affected. This episode is a must-listen for anyone looking to understand more about addiction recovery and how organizations like Shatterproof are making a real difference.
