We put this podcast together because all three of us are passionate about reducing the stigma around mental health and addiction.
Ever wondered how a former law enforcement officer navigates the challenging waters of addiction recovery? In this episode of 'The MAP', Scott Allen opens up about his personal battle with substance use and his mission to change the narrative around mental health and addiction. Hosted by Andrew Berstein and Chris, the conversation dives deep into Scott's background in law enforcement and how it intersected with his own struggles with addiction. But that's just the beginning.
Scott sheds light on the impact of COVID-19 on mental health and addiction, offering a unique perspective from both sides of the badge. He passionately discusses his role in creating 'Operation to Save Lives', a program aimed at providing practical support to those battling addiction, and the Police Assisted Addiction and Recovery Initiative (PAARI), which seeks to offer non-arrest pathways to treatment.
The episode wraps up with Scott's ambitious plans to expand these initiatives nationwide, including upcoming webinars and panels featuring public health and law enforcement experts. If you're looking for an inspiring story that bridges the gap between law enforcement and addiction recovery, this episode is a must-listen.
