A Journey of Resilience: Gary Bumgarner’s Story
In this episode of the Impact Stigma Podcast, we sit down with Gary Bumgarner, a dedicated Peer Recovery Specialist working at Frontier Health’s Scott County Office. With nearly 15 years of recovery under his belt, Gary brings a wealth of experience and a deep passion for helping others through the Peer Support Program.
Hailing from Morganton, NC, Gary graduated from Freedom High School in 2007. His journey has been one of resilience and strength, especially since his diagnosis of Bipolar 2 disorder and PTSD in 2015. For the past two years, Gary has been a vital part of the Frontier Health team, making a significant impact in the lives of those he supports.
Join us as Gary shares his story, his challenges, and the triumphs that have shaped his path. Through his candid discussion, we aim to shed light on the realities of mental health and the power of peer support in fostering recovery and hope.
Tune in for an inspiring conversation that underscores the importance of community, understanding, and breaking the stigma surrounding mental health.
