Hailey was dope sick, vomiting blood, and running with gangsters. Today, she’s clean and giving back through haircuts and hope.

Send us Fan MailBy age 13, Hailey was self-harming. At 16, she was living in a trap house, using meth and heroin, and hiding across the street from her mother’s school. Her addiction escalated to fentanyl, psychosis, and multiple stints in treatment. She once traded a 65-inch TV for a single pill. But when her body started rejecting the drugs, she knew she had to change — or die. Today, Hailey is a stylist, advocate, and founder of Haircuts for Hope. This is the story of how she made it out.=============Key Learning Points 👉 Childhood trauma and emotional isolation 👉 Meth, heroin, fentanyl, and psychosis 👉 The terrifying cycle of dope sickness 👉 Getting clean after relapse and juvenile detention 👉 How hairdressing and gardening became healing tools 👉 Grieving lost friends while staying clean 👉 Honoring ancestors and community through action✅ Buy us a coffee!✅ Need HKT Merch?✅ Check SEIU West✅ Bunny Hugs and Mental Health✅ Wellness News✅ NaranonSupport the showSEIU-WestWellness NewsParenting in the Storm Check out Parenting in the Storm HEREAre you getting something from our content?
