What We Do
Speak on every platform about my story with my loved one, Jack, who misuses drugs, was formerly incarcerated and lived on the streets and the drugs out there in general.
I hope this will help people who have a family member or a friend who's misusing substances to understand the drugs they are misusing, understand how they can help reduce harm, understand how to find healthier alternatives, and see how we cultivated a better relationship in the midst of it all until my loved one was ready to change.
I hope Families can feel empowered to reconnect.
Why help my loved one?
Because I can, and it brings me joy.
