This Isn't a Game! Our Stories Have Power!
A father, husband, grandfather and parent survivor of a daughter lost to the disease of addiction, Randy is also a recovery ally.
"I am a recovery ally because everyone who struggles or has struggled deserves to have the life they dream of no matter what!"
"I speak to young people and let them know this is not a game to play with your life"
Utilizing my professional background and personal passion for helping families and individuals suffering from Substance Use Disorder. Advocating for change and educating individuals and communities on the treatable nature of addiction to put an end to stigma and the need for increased prevention, treatment and recovery support.
Manager- Volunteer Programs. SAFE Project (Stop the Addiction Fatality Epidemic)
SAFE Project staff work to address the addiction epidemic and related mental health challenges daily. That starts with ending stigma.
No Shame means understanding that addiction is a disease, learning about the science of addiction and factors that lead to addictive behaviors, supporting those in recovery, and believing there's no shame in seeking help.
