Jason White, electrician and former rock star hopeful, shares his story of substance use, addiction, and the sharp turn that snatched him out of a sinking darkness, showing him a better way of being. Like many people’s stories contain powerful moments of change, Jason’s includes a moment of divine intervention, followed up by an unlikely confirmation days later that played out on a tour bus in stopped traffic in the middle of the Trans Canada Highway. With a film crew on board the tour bus, you can still watch this music video that captured the moment and catch a glimpse of Jason at this point in his life at https://youtu.be/o1__RgU7WD4?si=46jZipiNpJSpuxm6
Jason ties up his story with heartfelt outreach to other men who are struggling with mental health and substance use. Jason also reflects on losing a family member to suicide, encouraging men to find someone around them they can talk to, and encouraging foremen and other leaders to be that guy who asks others how its really going.
