PAWSS Inc "PAWSS/Stop the Pain in Robeson County, NC. Stop the Pain was founded in 2013 by Michael Wayne Chavis, a retired North Carolina State Highway Patrol Sergeant.

Passionate about promoting awareness, wellness, and support services through faith-based recovery programs, educational events, and advocacy for families impacted by substance use.” Throughout his career, Michael was frequently confronted with traumatic events which eventually took an emotional toll and led to a personal struggle with drug and alcohol addiction. Entering and successfully completing treatment, Michael was able to gain a full understanding of the needed awareness, programs, and community support required for the effective prevention and treatment of substance use. Stunned upon hearing of the overdose of a young man, Dwayne Paul Jones, whom attended his childhood Church of Prospect United Methodist, Michael was inspired to return to his birth community and delved into creating a program to help prevent substance use and the senseless loss of life that it creates. Michael was a passionate man who was dedicated to his job, family, and community. He was also a die-hard North Carolina State fan. Tragically, family, friends, the community, and Stop the Pain lost Michael in a house fire in December of 2016. Dwayne Paul Jones (12/12/89 to 9/30/12), the inspiration for Stop the Pain, was an accomplished young man. Dwayne was a multi-sport athlete, Eagle Scout, college student and respected employee. He was committed to being a loving brother, son, father and friend. With the tremendous pain created by the loss of his life, has come the recognition of the immense contribution to Stop the Pain his life continues to inspire.
