Shedding Light on Vegas: Stories of Recovery and Resilience
We are three guys from Las Vegas in long-term recovery, looking to break the stigmas of homelessness, mental health and addiction in the city we love.
Las Vegas might be known for its bright lights and endless entertainment, but beneath that glittering surface lies a world many choose to overlook. Paul Vautrinot, Robert Banghart, and Angelo Calabrese, all former chronically homeless and recovering addicts, have seen this hidden reality up close. In this episode of 'Beneath the Neon Podcast', they open up about their experiences and the stigmas surrounding addiction, mental health, and homelessness in their city.
Through candid conversations and personal stories, they aim to reveal the humanity behind these issues. They discuss the often harsh impact of law enforcement and the justice system on individuals struggling with addiction and homelessness. Their mission is clear: to foster understanding and empathy, and to highlight the importance of community support in recovery. This episode isn't just about the struggles; it's also about hope, resilience, and the power of storytelling to change perceptions.
