Program Description
This is far from a "just say no" or "don't do drugs" talk. Stephen shares an emotional and authentic story to connect with students in a profound way that will leave a lasting impact for years to come. He shows students, through his life experience, how his addiction unfolded, the consequences of substance use, and how stigma contributed to both his downfall and inability to recover.
After Stephen takes you through his dark days in addiction, he slowly transitions into sobriety, emphasizing that recovery is possible. He shows students how he was able to overcome a severe addiction and completely turn his life around, leaving everyone inspired, hopeful, and motivated to make positive change in their own lives.

- Avoid the pitfalls of substance misuse by knocking down stigma and showing students that addiction does not discriminate
