A Mother’s Tribute: The Black Poster Project and Silent Memorials

from HealingUS Podcast

In this heartfelt episode, we sit down with Dee Gillen, the creator of the Black Poster Project, and Dawn Pizzolato and her pivotal role as operations manager. The Black Poster Project is an artistic and powerful tribute born from loss and resilience. After the devastating loss of her son Scott to an overdose, Dee channeled her grief into creating a moving exhibit called Silent Memorials. This traveling project, showcased throughout New Jersey and New York, uses impactful black-and-white posters to honor lives lost to addiction and raise awareness about the overdose epidemic. Dee shares her deeply personal story, the inspiration behind the project, and the challenges she’s faced along the way. We discuss the emotional impact of the Silent Memorials exhibit, its reception by the community, and the profound message of hope and awareness it conveys to families and individuals affected by addiction. Join us as Dee reflects on Scott's legacy, her proudest moments with the project, and her advice for others seeking to transform grief into meaningful action. This episode is a powerful reminder of the strength found in love, loss, and community. #blackposterproject #theblackposterproject #healingus #mentalhealthawareness #mentalhealthmatters #mentalhealthsupport LinkTree: linktr.ee/hucenters Dan Regan Instagram: instagram.com/danielreganrecovery/?hl=en Relevance Recovery Instagram: instagram.com/relevancerecovery/?hl=en Calusa Recovery Instagram: instagram.com/calusa_recovery/?hl=en Avisa Recovery Instagram: instagram.com/avisa_recovery/?hl=en Prioritizing Your Mental Health On Your Bingo Card?
