Heroin: through the eyes of a younger brother | Tommy Sablan | TEDxDonovanCorrectional 2018

Growing up in the 70's and 80's, Tommy was the younger brother of two heroin addicts. Tommy takes you through the different stages of his life as his brothers were going through their addiction. “I am amazed that there's a heroin epidemic that is happening in our schools and community today. I have been given the wisdom to speak to young students and families that are struggling because of the fact I grew up with two brothers that were heroin addicts. I do not preach to not do drugs. People already know that but what I can tell is my family's story and maybe it will help others make better choices in life.” Tommy is a radio and television producer, but most importantly, he is a father of two.
