Send us a text
In the very first episode of SafeTalk, the crew at the Face to Face SafeZone sit down for an honest, no-judgment conversation about addiction and recovery among youth and young adults. Meet the youth as they share their backgrounds, passions, and personal stories—opening up about how substance use impacts their lives and communities.
From early experiences with alcohol and the influence of family, to the dangers of fentanyl, vaping, and peer pressure, this episode dives deep into the realities that many young people face today. The group talks openly about the ties between mental health and addiction, the challenges of recovery, and the importance of support systems—reminding listeners that everyone’s journey is unique and that seeking help is a sign of strength.
Whether you’re supporting someone through recovery or navigating your own path, this episode offers a raw, relatable look at what it means to break the cycle and build a healthier future. If you or someone you know is struggling, remember: help is available, and you’re not alone.
This work is funded in part by MHC with money from the Arts and Cultural Heritage Fund that was created with the vote of the people of Minnesota on November 4, 2008.
Created by Youth Advocate and Recording Arts Specialist Tek Burch, the Face to Face SafeTalk Podcast opener blends music and spoken word to spotlight youth truth, justice, and hope. It sets the stage for honest conversations, celebrating strength, breaking barriers, and amplifying youth voices in a space where every story matters.
