<p>Adversity should be his middle name (it's not); no matter the circumstance, Paul Jr. finds himself drawn to helping others, and making his losses his lessons.</p> <p>At 29 years old, Paul Thomas O'Hara, Jr. (our Host Lori Windfeldt's nephew) has turned his life of tragedy into triumph.</p> <p>Growing up in the shadow of his deceased father (whom he resembles in so many ways), Paul Jr. was just 2 years old when Paul Sr. died in a fiery explosion. </p> <p>Living with his twin sister Madison, and Mother Amanda, Paul's life was what some (including him) would consider 'normal' - however, it was far from that. </p> <p>Listen to Lori and Paul Jr.'s special conversation, as they share each other's struggles with staying basic and finding the power to go beyond surviving, and start thriving. </p> <p>Just when you think you've heard it all... there's a "yeah, but then..."</p> <p> </p> <p><span style="text-decoration: underline;">TRIGGER WARNING</span>: explicit discussions of addiction, police brutality, suicide, severe abuse</p>

<p>I have worked in the health care field since 2004 in a variety of positions ranging from bodywork, medical billing, harm reduction, HIV and hepatitis C testing and counseling, case management, housing programs (HOPWA and Ryan White Part B), outreach, assertive community treatment (ACT) case management for people experiencing homelessness, psychiatric case management, drug and alcohol counseling, program development, grant writing and management, and I am a certified peer recovery support specialist. I completed my Master of Arts in Anthropology (with a focus on medical anthropology) at the University of Nevada, Reno. My graduate research focused on the ways in which harm reduction as a counter discourse helped to frame and maintain the radically inclusive social space of a local syringe services program for people marginalized and excluded elsewhere.<br /> <br /> I have been in recovery since February 2002. I am passionate about peer recovery, overdose prevention, harm reduction, and helping others achieve their full potential of living a purposeful life. I am a program specialist for the county’s Human Services Agency, work as a research assistant at the University of Nevada’s School of Community Health Science doing harm reduction research, serve as the chair for the Interagency Council on Homelessness to Housing, conduct volunteer harm reduction outreach in my community and volunteer serving meals to people experiencing homelessness.<br /> <br /> I also founded a writing group called Voices of Inspiration, Courage, and Empowerment (VOICE) for people experiencing or recovering from homelessness. I am excited about pursuing a DrPH to advance my knowledge and skill set in this field and enhance the ability for people without a voice to engage in participation in public health dialogue.</p>
