My name is Kyra Hopson. I'm a mother of two beautiful boys and a grateful recovering addict. I've also been Community Health Worker for the Upper Peninsula Maternal Opioid Misuse program since 2020. This was a pilot program, which has now expanded into multiple counties across the Upper Peninsula. I'm a certified peer recovery support specialist and also a part time student. I got involved with FAN because I lost both of my parents to addiction--and almost lost myself in the process. Addiction has surrounded me my entire life. Supporting those who still struggle brings meaning and purpose to my life. Raising awareness and fighting the stigma associated with addiction gives space for people with a substance use disorder to change and grow. I'm proud to be part of the solution today.
