The Share Your Opioid Story initiative is hosting a Community Conversation at Penn State Abington to tell the stories behind the statistics of the opioid crisis.The community event will take place at 6 p.m. on Monday, March 18, in the Lares Union Building at Penn State Abington.
Erin Bergner, a Penn State Abington junior, is motivated, to say the least: She carries extra courses so she can graduate early, works in a faculty research lab, and holds down another part-time job. And all the while she is managing her recovery from opioid addiction and telling her story on ShareYourOpioidStory.com to help reduce stigma and support others in the grip of addiction. "We're not just a statistic, we're individuals with hopes, dreams and struggles," said Bergner.
