Eight years ago, Journey Bank invited Chris Herren to our community where he met with more than 3,600 local high school students and openly shared his struggle with addiction and his path to recovery. Journey Bank is honored to bring Chris back this December and January, through his organization Herren Talks, to once again share his meaningful, powerful, and important message with our area high school students.

Chris Herren is a former professional basketball player, a strong voice on the topic of substance use prevention, and a wellness advocate. Since 2009, Chris has spoken to over two million students, athletes and community members, sparking honest discussions on the topics of substance use disorder and wellness. As a person in long-term recovery, Chris continues to share his story nationally with a renewed focus on prevention education and challenging audiences to rethink how we look at the disease of addiction – changing the focus from the last day to the first.

Here at Journey Bank, we are committed to making a meaningful impact on the lives of young people. We understand how important this message is for their growth, and we’re dedicated to supporting them as they learn, lead, and thrive. Follow us for updates as Chris visits 16 of our local high schools! Find out more about the good work Chris and his organization do every day at Herren Talks, the Herren Project and www.herrentalks.com.

This week, we’re honored to share the story of Matt Welickovitch — Lycoming County Public Defender and proud graduate of Treatment Court.

In this video, Matt talks openly about the journey that brought him into the justice system, the turning point that led him into Treatment Court, and the support that helped him rebuild his life. Today, he serves our community with compassion, understanding, and a firsthand commitment to helping others find their way to recovery.

Matt’s story is a reminder that Treatment Court works — and that with structure, support, and accountability, people can and do change their lives.

We’re grateful to Matt for sharing his truth, and to all the partners and professionals who make these success stories possible.

Watch Matt’s full story below.

Together, we can reduce stigma, support recovery, and strengthen our community.
