This week Ryan chats with Dr. Victoria Burns about how she uses her lived experience to create a safe, inclusive space for students, faculty and staff in addictions recovery. One of only three currently in Canada.

Topics covered:
🔹 brief history of Collegiate Recovery Programs in North America
🔹some of her own recovery story
🔹a multiple pathways approach to recovery
🔹stigma around being in recovery
🔹recovering out loud
