“We booked Tony when looking for a speaker who would share a compelling story regarding opioid use, abuse and overcoming the obstacles. With the epidemic growing by the second in our state and in our nation, the message needs to be shared.

Tony delivered a riveting speech that kept all audience members on the edge of their chairs. One audience member said on their survey, “Tony Hoffman is one of the best speakers I have ever heard and that says a lot over the course of my 20+ years of hearing speakers”.

It is rare to find a speaker who has encountered what Tony has and lives to tell a story of such hope and inspiration.” - Tim Rave, President/CEO, South Dakota Association of Healthcare Organizations

Breaking The Stigmas

Face the stigmas regarding addiction/addicts head on with Tony’s keynote that took him to the TEDx stage. There is no better way to accomplish this than bringing an individual that has lived their life as an addict. This speech contains topics such as but not limited to

  • Mental health (Anxiety, depression, PTSD, therapy)

  • Early childhood trauma as it relates to substance abuse

  • Sexual abuse as it relates to substance abuse

  • Homeless crisis (Mental health & early childhood trauma)

  • Safe injection sites (Perspective surrounding their use)

  • MAT (Medical Assisted Treatment)

  • Communication (Compassion & empathy: The gateway to the lost soul)

There is a stigma which many assign to drug addicts, even long after they have overcome their addiction. Tony discusses how his first time smoking marijuana led to his eventual drug addiction, homelessness, prison, and finally redemption.

Former BMX champion Tony Hoffman connects with American Addiction Centers to share the story of his journey from opioid addiction, homelessness, and prison, to getting sober, coaching the Olympic BMX team, and traveling the country to spread his message of recovery from the disease of addiction.
