Tell your friends about this special video!
WFS has had the privilege of being part of an amazing video project that was hosted by Choice In Recovery organization and included several recovery organizations.  Several of our awesome 4C group leaders from Denver and Boulder Colorado debuted in it.  The video is now finished!  When I watched the final copy... it was just beautiful – tears of joy to see this project come to life.  Many, many thanks to Choice's founder, Irina, for channeling her passion and determination into creating the concept and structure for such a diverse and much-needed educational product for the public.  And kudos for all the folks that are in this video and shared their knowledge and care in helping others and for INSPIRING HOPE that we can all live a healthy, balanced life with dignity and grace.  And, Anna, the awesome videographer…words surpass me in seeing the finished, polished, visually and audibly captivating creation she has pieced together.  Well done all! Please share this video with everyone and anyone! -Becky Fenner, WFS Director

Chasing the Dragon is produced by the FBI – Federal Bureau of Investigation and the Drug Enforcement Administration. The purpose of this film is to raise awareness of drug abuse and the profound downward spiral that can be caused by opiate addiction. The film content has been provided by actual people who abused opiates or whose children abused opiates.

The FBI and DEA created this documentary to help students develop a greater understanding of this crisis to create a deeper appreciation
