Eight years ago today, I got the call that my big brother had died. He took a pill that he thought was OxyContin.. it was almost pure Fentanyl. I share to remind people that addiction + mental illness impacts us ALL. Be kind, dismiss stigma and listen, rather than judge 🤍

@CTVJoelle I’m so sorry, Joelle. This has been and remains a catastrophe.
@CTVJoelle 🙏🏽💙 Keep raising awareness and his memory alive
@CTVJoelle We lost our beloved son/brother/ nephew/grandson Brent Derks to the same 11/22/21. I'm so sorry for your loss, too. We have raised $6K so far for the Dream Centre to help those dealing with addiction/mental health.
