Heart of the Matter with Elizabeth Vargas

[link removed]

In many ways, Michelle Lipinski is the principal of a high school just
like any other. Students rush from class to class from the morning to
afternoon, study hard for quizzes and exams, and wait for their senior
prom with bated breath. However, one thing sets Northshore Recovery
High School apart from most other schools in the nation: All of its
students have a diagnosed substance use disorder.

Join Elizabeth for a special episode of Heart of the Matter as she
speaks to Principal Michelle Lipinski and current and former students
Shaylee, Alba and Rachel about the origins of Northshore - which
was the subject of the MTV documentary series 16 and Recovering
- what others can learn from its education model and what makes
it a "safe place" of empathy, tough love and radical
compassion for the students and staff who walk its halls.
