#314 – What Comes First Addiction or Mental Health With Stephanie Marquesano
In this powerful episode of the Soberful podcast, Veronica Valli is joined by Stephanie Marquesano, founder of The Harris Project, to discuss the often-overlooked challenges of co-occurring disorders—when mental health conditions and substance use intersect.
Stephanie shares her personal journey of loss and how it inspired her to advocate for systemic change in the way we approach prevention, treatment, and support. Together, they explore the root causes of substance use, the need for integrated care, and the vital role parents, schools, and communities play in creating better outcomes for young people.
This conversation shines a light on how education, awareness, and compassionate support can empower individuals and families to make informed decisions and break the cycle of addiction and mental health struggles.
