Today, our students had the privilege of hearing from former NBA player Chris Herren. Rather than just focusing on the consequences of addiction, Chris shared his raw, personal journey to help students understand the "why" behind substance use.
Key Takeaways from the Presentation:

• Focus on the "First Day": Understanding why a person first turns to substances to break the cycle before it starts. 
• Self-Worth & Vulnerability: Empowering students to feel comfortable in their own skin and addressing the pressure to "mask" struggles. 
• Strength in Struggle: True strength lies in being open about mental health and having the courage to ask for help.
