In my latest interview, I joined Jake from Vive18 on “The Drug Prevention Power-Hour” to discuss the power of storytelling in recovery, prevention, mental health, and human connection in general.
From Vive18: “In this conversation, Shane Watson shares his journey from a promising youth to struggling with addiction and ultimately finding his calling in mental health and recovery advocacy. He emphasizes the importance of storytelling in connecting with audiences, particularly youth, and discusses techniques for effective public speaking. Shane highlights the significance of vulnerability and authenticity in presentations, encouraging speakers to share their personal struggles to foster connection and understanding. He also outlines his approach to helping individuals navigate their recovery journeys, showcasing the need for support in mental health and addiction recovery.”
