Advocacy in Action: Tyler Thompson and Jeff Breedlove on Recovery Efforts

The more we speak out about the recovery universe and the world in general as people who are survivors and in the memory of those who have not survived our disease, you know that's what we've got to do.
Ever wondered how advocacy can shape addiction recovery? This episode of 'Get In The Herd After Hours' with Alex Bond brings you an enlightening conversation with Tyler Thompson and Jeff Breedlove, two passionate advocates making a difference. Tyler, a Peer Advocate for Speakup About Drugs in Arkansas, and Jeff, Chief of Communications and Policy at the Georgia Council on Substance Abuse, dive into their unique approaches to advocacy and the impact it has on the recovery community.
Tyler shares his journey of founding a men's recovery mountain bike group, highlighting how shared passions can foster a supportive environment. Jeff discusses the importance of building alliances with government officials and organizations to amplify the peer voice in recovery. Both guests touch on the challenges and adaptations required during the COVID-19 pandemic, emphasizing the need for creativity in virtual advocacy. They also explore the power of storytelling in breaking down stigma and misinformation around substance use disorders.
This episode is a must-listen for anyone interested in the transformative power of advocacy in addiction recovery.
