Holly Jones: Battling Addiction Stigma and Championing Resources in Rural Utah

It is such a beautiful journey and so so worth it. And the reason is because we shame them right.
What does it take to fight for addiction resources in rural areas? Holly Jones knows firsthand. In this compelling episode of 'Project Recovery', Holly sits down with Casey Scott and Dr. Matt Woolley to share her journey from growing up in a family plagued by addiction to becoming a fierce advocate for recovery resources in Tooele, Utah. Holly opens up about her childhood with free-spirited parents who struggled with their own addictions.
She found herself stepping into the caretaker role at a young age, a responsibility that shaped her deeply. The loss of her father to alcohol addiction after two decades left a lasting impact, fueling her drive to make a difference in her community. Facing stigma and resistance, Holly's advocacy work hasn't been easy. Yet, she remains undeterred, working tirelessly on various projects aimed at supporting those battling addiction in rural Utah.
Her story is one of resilience, empathy, and unwavering commitment to change. Listeners will find Holly's narrative both inspiring and informative, shedding light on the unique challenges faced by rural communities in accessing addiction resources. Her message underscores the importance of empathy and understanding for those who resist seeking help. Tune in to hear Holly's powerful message of hope and encouragement, and discover how one person's determination can spark significant change.
