Since the death of his son, Harlan, in 2023 to an accidental drug poisoning, Joseph Fourre has been raising awareness about the harms of drugs with a campaign to youth called, No Thanks I’m Good.
On Face to Face, below, Fourre discusses his son, the campaign and his past overcoming addictions.
Looking to their Facebook page, Joseph with his calm demeanor, is reaching into communities with this impactful message.
He said he heard, in his mind, his son say,
“Dad, I’m gone . . . Tell others.”
Joseph tells of a 14 year old boy coming up to him when he was feeling overwhelmed, wondering why he was doing this, “ripping the band-aid off ” every time he gave a talk.
The young boy gave him a big hug, thanked him, saying he didn’t know. That day, Joseph realized even if he reached one, how important this work is.
