Hudson Valley Disruptors, A Very Personal Disruption

Hudson Valley Disruptors, A Very Personal Disruption

On August 4th 2018, our good friend Caitlin Martin started a new decade of her life. On this day, there was only one thing that she wanted.....

For Caitlin's 30th birthday, she wanted her Mom, Denise, with the support of her friend and mentor, Chris Herren, to share Denise's story on addiction as well as her family’s journey to a long term recovery in order to offer hope for anyone who might be struggling with substance abuse disorder..

On August 4th, Caitlin's wish came true. Today, we talk to her about the impact releasing this story on video through social media had, as well as an update of things that have transpired since.
