What role does storytelling have in addressing the opioid crisis? In March, Vermont Public Radio hosted a gathering at the Turning Point Center of Burlington to talk through that question with the team behind My Heart Still Beats.

The event, hosted on March 11, 2019, was an intimate conversation between the producers of the series, the people who shared their stories, and a live audience.
My Heart Still Beats is six-part series from Writers for Recovery and VPR, featuring conversation about addiction and original writing from the recovery community around Vermont.

My Heart Still Beats has support from the VPR Innovation Fund, and SB Signs. The series was produced by Bess O'Brien and Gary Miller, with editing by Erica Heilman and music by Brian Clark. Special thanks to Turning Point's Sara Glasgow.
