We would like to express our gratitude towards Representative Patrick J. Kennedy who joined us for the second episode of our brand-new podcast, Heart of the Matter with Elizabeth Vargas. Together, Representative Kennedy and Elizabeth Vargas discuss the former Congressman’s struggles with mental health and addiction, as well as his advocacy on behalf of others who need help.

This month we’re exploring the many forms gratitude can take. It has been a challenging year for most, but we continue to seek out opportunities to give thanks.

Right now, we are grateful for our helpline specialists who have connected with more than 10,000 families looking for support this year. We are grateful for our parent coaches who have facilitated over 120 online support community meetings. We are grateful for the technical assistance team’s adaptability and creativity in converting our in-person trainings for addiction care providers to remote trainings. And most of all, we are thankful for people like you, working to transform how our nation addresses addiction.
