🌟 Breakthrough Coalition Member Spotlight: Eric Lundin 🌟
The Breakthrough Coalition brings together local leaders to reduce substance misuse and support mental health across our communities' youth. With two teams—one in Faribault and one in Northfield—we’re working to ensure young people and their families have the resources they need to thrive.
Today, we’re spotlighting Eric Lundin, a dedicated member of the Faribault team.
When asked why he serves, Eric shared:
“I think for too long certain populations of adolescents have been misunderstood and left behind, and only recently has trauma-informed care become a talking point—and a lens through which we can reimagine what’s possible for all adolescents. I believe our coalition can rally around these kids who need a relationship, a skill, a safe place to explore their selfhood.”
Eric also shared a favorite reminder from Dr. Bruce Perry:
💬 “The more healthy relationships a child has, the more likely they are to recover from trauma and thrive. Relationships are the agents of change, and the most powerful therapy is human love.”
Thank you, Eric, for your commitment to creating safer, more supportive spaces for young people in our community.
