  • Summary

  • Can the experience of stigma be tied to adverse outcomes - including mortality - for people who are fighting a chronic illness?

    Gary Mendell, Founder and CEO of Shatterproof, shares his personal story about the loss of his son, Brian, who suffered from mental health difficulties and addiction. The genesis of Shatterproof was the outcome of Gary's quest to make sense of the unfathomable.

    Join me in this heartfelt and informative discussion with Gary about how he came to understand stigma as the core struggle that led to Brian's death, how this informed the mission of Shatterproof, and what Gary and his team are doing to change the public's attitudes and understanding of addiction as a treatable chronic illness.
