We were thrilled to provide this amazing event to Bourne students with money from Bourne Opioid Settlement Program. Chris Poulos is an amazing speaker who helps spread our mission of positive choices.

World champion athlete, youth motivational speaker and author Chris Poulos gave a presentation to students at Bourne Middle School and Bourne Intermediate School in June.

The Bourne Substance Free Coalition would like to thank Bourne Middle School Principal Lisa Sleboda and her staff for inviting us to participate in their Mental Health Awareness Month celebration.
Coalition members encouraged students to sign a pledge affirming that their mental health matters and provided coping tools and strategies to help manage stress, improve focus, build self-esteem, practice deep breathing, and make positive decisions.
It was a fun day and the students were amazing!
Our next event , through funding from the Bourne Opioid Settlement Fund, the Bourne Substance Free Coalition will host Chris Poulos, world-champion athlete and motivational speaker, at Bourne Middle School and Bourne Intermediate School on June 17. His presentations will focus on core values, character development, perseverance, and making positive choices.
The Coalition is committed to supporting youth wellness through education, prevention, and community outreach.

For those of you that know, this is my daughter, Madi.

For those of that don’t know, this is my daughter, Madi.

For those of you that know, you know.

For those of you that don’t know, she is an addict.

I have been on this journey with her since she was 14 years old. She will celebrate her 20th birthday in 37 days. Which is ironic because I was 20 when I had her. We are 6 years and 3 rehabs in. Read on.

Did you know that addiction is classified in the DSM-5? It’s a mental illness that lives in the brain stem: the same brain stem that serves a critical role in regulating certain involuntary actions of the body, including heartbeat and breathing. Pause on that. Addicts feel that they need their drug of choice (DOC) the same way they feel they need to breathe. Pause on that.

Did you know that our society treats addiction as a moral issue and pawns it off on law enforcement to “control”? The average stay in jail is 14 days or less. Where addicts are left to detox alone…outside of medical supervision.
Did you know the detox process can be violent and result in death if not monitored by medical professionals?
The addict is then released at the time their serotonin levels are at their lowest, leading to a high rate of relapse. It’s a pun to say this is criminal. It takes an average of 14-16 months of sobriety for an addict’s brain to balance serotonin levels to that of a neuro-typical brain. Did you know that? Did you know that most insurances will only pay for
