Hannah Milne, BSW ’18, wasn’t always comfortable sharing her story.
“My drug use started off with me being 16 and addicted to crystal meth,” Milne said. “That led me down a pretty dark path.”
Today Milne helps adolescents who struggle with substance use and addiction through Keystone Austin, a nonprofit she founded in 2018, while she was still an undergraduate on the Forty Acres. The nonprofit offers peer-led support groups to adolescents and their parents, with the goal of showing that sobriety can be fun through activities such as holiday campouts and retreats.
“We want to show these kids what support is like while collaborating with the parents on boundary-setting and creating a positive relationship with their teenagers,” Milne said.
