In this compelling TEDx talk, The Reclaim Project’s co-founder, Shawn Kingsbury, shares his personal journey and the insights that led to the creation of the organization
Drawing from his own experiences and the countless conversations he’s had with men struggling with addiction:
Shawn highlights the critical missing piece in the recovery process: a comprehensive game plan that addresses the physical, mental, and spiritual aspects of addiction.
Through poignant stories and examples, Shawn illustrates how focusing on just one aspect of recovery is often insufficient and can lead to a cycle of relapse and recidivism. He emphasizes the importance of developing all three pillars – physical, mental, and spiritual – to create a strong foundation for lasting recovery.
Shawn also shares the transformative work being done at The Reclaim Project, where men are given the opportunity to build on their strengths while addressing their weaknesses in a supportive and empowering environment. By providing transitional housing, employment opportunities, and a range of life-affirming activities, The Reclaim Project is helping men create lives worth living.
This powerful talk is a testament to the resilience of the human spirit and a call to action for all of us to rethink how we approach addiction, homelessness, and incarceration.
It is a must-watch for anyone who wants to be part of the solution and help build capable, thriving men in our communities.
