EPISODE 18: Substance Abuse

People turn to substances like drugs or alcohol for numerous reasons, such as dealing with trauma or feeling a general detachment to the world around them. In this episode of The Harbor by Jostens, Mike and guest alum, Austin Eubanks, encourage us to start a dialogue around the reasons why people use substances to cope. UPDATE: Please note that Austin lost his battle with substance abuse on May 18, 2019. Our thoughts are with his family and friends.
