What If I Dared to Dream?

A presentation by Wendy Allen in collaboration with the Maine Humanities Council, is based on Wendy’s personal journey from pre-addiction, active addiction and recovery. This gives a “through the lens” view from someone that is affected by substance abuse disorder and the struggles she faces on a daily basis to find freedom from addiction. The presentation provides an understanding that no dream is too big, and that change IS possible.
