About Me
Carmen Ledesma
Certified Peer Recovery Support Specialist ‘ Cannabis Wellness Pioneer & Advocate for the Cannabis-Health Revolution, Harm Reduction Advocate & Participant.
Hello everyone, my name is Carmen Ledesma, my friends call me Carm. I love this motto by Ghandi, ´’Be the change you wish to see in the world. ¨ I hope I can be a beacon of light to someone, anyone out there, and if I can reach one single person, I have done my job. Hope to meet you all real soon.
More about me, I have just celebrated my nine years in Recovery. I am completely passionate about helping people and connecting them with the right resources. I fell in love with the industry through the various positions I held working as a Recovery Coach for a Substance Use Disorder and Mental Health Hospital in my local area. This was the beginning of the end for me. I fell in love with it hard and learned everything I could about harm reduction, opioid use disorder, self-harm, and past traumas and how they show up in people's lives as unresolved issues. I was raised early on knowing that mental health existed and it was not something that you could do anything about it. Fast-forward to current times and I try to learn everything I can about brain health, mental health, addiction recovery, and trauma. It's the only way I know I can be prepared to help the next individual I come in contact with. I look forward to meeting you and I pray that you keep skating the road to a happy destiny. (smile)
