Breaking the Stigma: One Man’s Mission to Heal Mental Health

Breaking the Stigma: One Man’s Mission to Heal Mental Health

In this episode of Primary Purpose with Pej, we sit down with Mark C. Manderson, a pioneer in the fields of addiction recovery and mental health. With decades of experience, Mark has dedicated his life to helping individuals and families break free from destructive habits, overcome self-sabotaging behaviors, and build a foundation for lasting transformation. As the founder of Pacific Shores Recovery—a trusted name for over 25 years—Mark has combined science-based strategies with compassionate care to create programs that truly change lives. From detox services to online counseling, veterans’ support, and mental health innovation, his work is centered on one mission: to remove the stigma around addiction and mental health so people can feel safe to heal and grow. Mark is also the author of The Recovery Way and the creator of the Pacific Shores App, designed to retrain the brain for better mental health. His impact reaches far beyond treatment centers—into communities, families, and individuals who have found hope through his leadership. Join us as we dive into Mark’s philosophy of recovery, his groundbreaking methods, and his vision for a world where healing is possible for everyone. Learn more about your ad choices.
