About Someone You Know: Facing the Opioid Crisis Together

Opioid addiction is a national public health crisis that affects individuals and families regardless of their age, race, or income. The statistics are overwhelming – more than 130 people die from opioid addiction every day (1).

"Someone You Know" is a grassroots public awareness effort of the Independence Blue Cross Foundation to reduce the stigma of opioid addiction and inspire hope in our communities.
Tune in to this podcast to hear inspiring stories that challenge stigma and humanize the disease of addiction. Heather Major, Executive Director, Independence Blue Cross Foundation, will guide you through conversations that explore the pain of addiction and the joys of a life in recovery.
