In this episode of 'MENtal Health: It's Time to Talk', hosted by Allan Kehler, Owen opens up about his tumultuous journey from gang life to becoming a beacon of support for others struggling with similar issues.
Born into challenging circumstances, Owen was thrust into the child welfare system where he faced racism, rejection, and discrimination. Survival meant resorting to drugs, alcohol, and violence.

Owen decided to flip the script on his life.
Through education and community programs like sharing circles and men's groups, he found a way to channel his experiences into helping others. His story is a testament to the power of resilience and the human spirit's capacity for change. This episode isn't just for those interested in gang life or addiction recovery; it's for anyone seeking inspiration to overcome their own struggles.
