In this episode, Karen and Cat sit down with Kimberly Allen, Founder and Chair of Jordan’s Room For Families.
Kimberly shares the story of her son, Jordan, who died at age 19 after taking what he believed was a Percocet pill that contained fentanyl. She reflects on the warning signs she recognizes today, the gaps she encountered while trying to navigate school and healthcare systems, and why parents must be willing to have difficult conversations about mental health and substance use.
Kimberly also discusses transforming her grief into action through Jordan’s Room For Families, including Together We Thrive workshops, family mentorship, community education, and the Together We Heal Walk on November 7th at Rhodes Jordan Park, Lawrenceville from 9 a.m. to 12 noon.
