Summary

In 2011, Gary Mendell's 25 yr old son, Brian, died by suicide after struggling with addiction for a decade. As Gary was supporting Brian through his recovery, remission, and relapses, he realized that, unlike other diseases, there was no real place to go for help. No huge foundation funding research. No 5k’s. So in the wake of Brian’s death, Gary created it himself. This week, Nzinga talks to Gary about the formation of Shatterproof, ATLAS (a treatment locator, assessment, and standards platform), and the immense importance of providing evidence-based education, resources, and treatment options.

0:49.9	And so you'll notice that every now and then you'll hear a show where we have someone on where it's not necessarily question and answer, but we're talking about a resource they have to offer or a program that they're running or a piece of information that we feel like would be helpful to have.

1:47.7	Addiction is mental health. This idea that we've separated them is the same thing as like this
