Listen now
Description
Morgan Godvin was addicted to heroin from a young age. To support her habit she sold drugs. The sale of heroin to one of her best friends led to his death and her being imprisoned, in the USA, for 5 years. Her activism and advocacy now centre around reducing the harms associated with drug use, preventing overdose death, and improving access to higher education in prison. She has been a consumer of harm reduction, treatment, and recovery services throughout the state. Her mother died of a prescription drug overdose and she has lost many close friends to overdose. Merging lived experience with academic education and governmental action, she is an Alcohol and Drug Policy Commission advisor.  Morgan Godvin Links: Morgan Godvin on Instagram Morgan Godvin on Twitter Morgan Godvin's Website Beats Overdose Second Chance Podcast Links: Raphael on Instagram Raphael on Twitter Raphael's Website Second Chance on Facebook Raphael Rowe Foundation Hosted on Acast.
