We're really putting our biggest effort into the stigma, which is why we are doing the shatterproof challenge events across the country and I don't want to get into those yet, but if you know if you want to go back to talking about the some other areas.
Imagine living in a world where addiction is understood as a disease, not a moral failing. In this episode of 'Spirit of Recovery', hosts Rev. Dan Beckett and Rev. Michelle Vargas chat with Holly Jespersen, communications manager for Shatterproof, a national organization dedicated to ending the stigma around addiction. Holly shares her journey from feeling shattered by addiction to becoming 'shatterproof', and the vital work Shatterproof is doing to change public perceptions and provide support.
The conversation covers the importance of community support, effective prevention and treatment resources, and the role of spiritual connection in recovery. They also highlight the Shatterproof Challenge, a series of rappelling events across the United States aimed at raising awareness and shining a light on addiction prevention and recovery.
Holly emphasizes the need for public education on the good Samaritan law and naloxone, and shares exciting news about Shatterproof's upcoming digital resource center, which will offer answers to common questions about addiction and recovery. If you're curious about how advocacy can transform lives and communities, this episode is a must-listen.
