Shay Houser | Addiction in the C-Suite

130 people die every day due to opioid addiction. 88,000 die each year due to alcohol. The current method of “waiting for rock bottom” isn’t working. Whether it’s because of stigma, denial, or concerns about losing their jobs, people are not coming forward to get the help they need until it’s too late. They need more options.

The addition in the C-Suite is real. Join Shay Houser, the Founder of YouTurn, who understands the fallout, stigma, and social responsibility of addiction among our leaders and those closest to us. Opioid addiction has an impact on us all.
