Disrupt and Dismantle: Seth Dewey, Health Educator of Reno County

Kristen Shook & Melissa Goodman | Mirror, Inc Episode 27

This incredible episode features Seth Dewey, a man who is working hard to ‘disrupt and dismantle’ the systems surrounding Substance Use Disorder to better serve individuals. Prior to being the Health Educator for Reno County, Seth remarks he qualified for his current position by turning his record into his resume. With his perspective, passion, and understanding of the world of recovery, there is no one better suited for this position. Coming from an incredibly strict and restricted background raised as a Jehovah’s Witness, his childhood was shattered when the establishment did anything but protect him. Seeking a way to cope with his pain, Seth’s life spiraled down a road of addiction and incarceration. Now, he seeks to improve accessibility, break the stigmas surrounding addiction and recovery, and ultimately turn things around in the very best way possible. Seth, you have 100% of our votes, too!
