Hey guys and welcome to episode 161 of the ACD stories

com podcast now in this episode I got back on several time guests

Chrissy Hodges Chrissy is a peer support coach

author and a CD advocate she also won the Hero Award from the ISDF in 2017. So it's good to have her back on and I got her on

just for an update but also to talk about her event, The Game Changes, which is happening in Denver in Colorado in a couple

weeks. So on it, she gives an update on her story in this episode. We then look back at the Game

Changes event 2018. I give my personal opinion on it. We kind of break it down why it was good, what was good about it.

Then we go on to talk about Game Changes 2019.

Kind of why she themed it the emotional side. So it's largely going to be about emotions this year and it's that we really go deep into that topic so that if that's

something you feel it relates to you

I think you enjoy that then also what you can expect from this year how you can get

involved whether you're in Colorado or if you can't get to Colorado how you can get involved from wherever you are in the world.

We also talk about that game changes is about empowering advocates.

So kind of she gives her words to hopeful advocates on how they can start advocacy.

We talk about the importance of bringing community together to instill hope and then

what she's learned from doing peer support over the last year and then the usual questions towards the end.

As always, Chrissy doesn't disappoint and I think you will enjoy this.

So thank you as always for listening and without further ado here is
