Congresswoman Madeleine Dean (PA) and her son Harry Cunnane join The Zac Clark Show for a powerful conversation about their journey through Harry’s substance use disorder and the road to recovery. Drawing from their co-authored memoir, "Under Our Roof: A Son’s Battle for Recovery, a Mother’s Battle for Her Son," they share raw insights into the challenges of addiction, the resilience of family, and the importance of breaking stigma. In Congress, Rep. Dean, a member of the Bipartisan Addiction and Mental Health Taskforce, has championed initiatives to combat the opioid crisis, increase access to mental health treatment, and support families impacted by substance use. Harry, now 13 years sober, works as Vice President of Business Development at Caron, a nonprofit addiction treatment center providing evidence-based care and recovery resources.

From intimate family dynamics to broader policy and legislation on a national scale, hearing a high-level public official share such a raw, personal, and painful story is a powerful reminder that substance use disorder can impact anyone, anywhere. These honest conversations not only provide hope but also let families know they’re not alone. They shine a light on the resources available and offer a path forward for those who might not know where to turn. Please tune in to hear their inspiring story and their efforts to transform how we address addiction and recovery.
