Episode #74 Jason’s Journey

Behind the poise, confidence and omnipresent, constant contributions to his community, Jason Ward was hurting. And hiding. In this special episode, he opens up, for the first time with local media, about his struggles with mental health and addiction – and how, for years, he managed to conceal his pain from friends and even loved ones. Until he couldn’t.  The now-retired lawyer also shares what his road to recovery looks like, and how his long-standing, commitment to “giving back,” – which includes sharing this deeply personal chapter of his life - has not waned.
