“Arianna Mellinger (Leading with Conviction™ 2024 participant) spoke Tuesday, Sept. 24, during an Opioid Education Seminar and Narcan training hosted by the Texarkana Homeless Coalition at Texarkana College in Texarkana, Texas. Mellinger shared her experience with recovery and advocated for the use of Narcan and intervention.
“Mellinger said she began using substances at the age of 13 and eventually was arrested for the fourth time in 2017. She now is a recovery peer support specialist and is working to become a licensed clinical social worker. … The seminar was attended by approximately 100 people.”
