What if one act of presence could change the course of a life—and a family?
In Part 2 of Bryan Flanery’s gripping journey, we move from despair to transformation. After surviving a suicide attempt, Bryan didn’t find healing in a formal program or protocol. He found it in something far more human: a knock at the door, a low-barrier invitation, and a community that saw him—not just his symptoms.
Now a national leader in peer-based recovery, Bryan shares how peer support, faith, and the Reboot Recovery community helped him heal from trauma and reconnect with his identity, his purpose, and his family.
In this episode, host Dave Closson unpacks:
- The power of peer connection in post-traumatic growth
- How prevention can restore—not just reduce—harm
- What low-barrier entry points into healing really look like
- How one person’s healing can change an entire family’s future
This isn’t just about Bryan’s story—it’s about what’s possible when we reimagine prevention as a long game of healing, trust, and transformation.
Ask yourself—*Are we building systems that people can walk into when they’re at their lowest?* What’s one way we could make healing more accessible?
