Nonprofit Tackles Stigma Around Substance Use

AUDIO – SOBERING CONVERSATION –

April 20, 2022 – “I didn’t want not one more family member to be in the dark and living with the terror that they would lose their family member,” Porter said.

Be Part of the Conversation provides forums for open dialogue and opportunities to reduce the stigma of drug addiction, mental health, and trauma.

“We get as sick as our family members,” said Porter. “We have people who have given their children Narcan and brought them back and done it multiple times — that is traumatizing.”
