Every day, millions of families are affected by a young person’s substance use and addiction. Partnership to End Addiction is here to help by providing coaching, practical information, and compassionate support when families need it most.
In this video, Dawn McCord — author of Chasing Carson and mother of Carson — shares her family’s journey through her son’s adolescence, addiction, and recovery. Carson began using substances at 15, escalating until a non-fatal heroin overdose at 18, but with tailored treatment and strong family support, he rebuilt his life.
Now six years sober and preparing to become a firefighter and paramedic, Carson’s progress reflects the guidance Dawn found through Partnership to End Addiction’s resources, coaches, and community.
