Session 2 of Hope is Dope delivered powerful insight into how real, science-backed tools can help rewire the brain and reshape the future.

We’re proud to partner with @bc3edu and @veteran_overwatch_foundation to bring this recovery program to veterans in our community. Based on the book Hope is Dope: Achieving Chemical Balance by Steve Treu, this course uses real science to empower veterans on their healing journey.

In our second session, we explored:

• The butterfly effect—how small shifts can lead to powerful ripple effects
• The observer effect—how simply noticing can create change
• Neuroplasticity—the brain’s ability to adapt, rewire, and heal
• With science, support, and reflection, the transformation continues.
