EP#358 - End It For Good

In this interview, I enjoy a great conversation with Christina Dent who shares how becoming a foster parent transformed her type of thinking process when it comes to criminalizing drugs. We discuss how addressing drugs and drug use as a complex health issue could dramatically reduce crime, overdose deaths, and the destabilization of families. I truly enjoyed this eye-opening conversation and I know you will too. Tune in for more... Who is Christina Dent? Christina Dent is a politically conservative Christian who supported criminalizing drugs until she became a foster parent and saw the negative effects up close. She researched why drug-related harm isn’t decreasing and became convinced it’s because the criminal justice system is the wrong tool for addressing drugs. In 2017, she began hosting book discussions in her home state of Mississippi using Johann Hari’s book “Chasing The Scream: The First and Last Days of the War on Drugs.” Those discussions grew to hundreds of people which led to End It For Good becoming a 501(c)(3) nonprofit in 2019. Christina invites people to explore how addressing drugs and drug use as a complex health issue could dramatically reduce crime, overdose deaths, and the destabilization of families. Christina leads End It For Good from the same passion that led her to foster care – helping children, families, and communities thrive. She isn’t advocating drug use. She’s advocating approaches to drugs that prioritize life and the opportunity to thrive. How to Connect with Christina?
