One of the things we did with with jl was that John remembers going from Minnesota to la as A Year Old and riding his bike around, you know, downtown la. And the education- I think that's really our desire- is to speak out and to educate people.
Imagine the heartache of losing a child to addiction. In this deeply moving episode of 'Surviving Opioids - Beyond an Epidemic', John and Jude Trang open up about their devastating experience of losing their son, John Leif, to a heroin overdose at just 25 years old.

From discussing the impact of trauma and genetic predisposition on addiction to sharing strategies for prevention and harm reduction, the Trangs cover it all.

This episode is a heartfelt conversation that sheds light on the opioid crisis and provides practical insights for anyone touched by addiction.
