Shani Reisnour is a seasoned paramedic with 20 years of experience on the front lines of emergency care. Throughout her career, she has witnessed firsthand the devastating impact of the nation's ongoing drug crisis, responding to countless calls involving substance use and its tragic consequences. However, the crisis hit far closer to home than Shani could have ever imagined. Despite her extensive training and expertise in the medical field, she found herself facing the painful and personal reality of substance use disorder within her own family when her daughter fell victim to addiction. What began as a mother's worst nightmare quickly became an all-consuming battle. The overwhelming presence of fentanyl—a drug that doesn’t discriminate—sent shockwaves through her world, shattering the illusion that no one was truly immune to this epidemic. Watching her daughter struggle with addiction, Shani was forced to confront the harsh realities of the crisis in a way she never anticipated. The urgency of the situation and the devastating impact on her family challenged her understanding of the epidemic she had spent years responding to and forced her to rethink how deeply addiction can affect every facet of a person’s life, regardless of their background, education, or profession. It was a sobering realization that the fight against addiction is not just a medical one—it’s also deeply personal, emotional, and requires a level of resilience and community support that is often lacking. This experience ignited Shani's resolve to not only continue her professional efforts, but to become a vocal advocate for others who find themselves in the same heartbreaking position. Driven by the desire to make a tangible difference, Shani founded Mya’s Mission Foundation Inc., a nonprofit dedicated to decreasing or eliminating the financial barriers that often prevent individuals in North Dakota from seeking treatment for substance use and mental health disorders. As the Director, Shani has led the foundation in providing critical grants to individuals seeking treatment services. These grants allow people to access the care they need, enabling them to break free from the grip of addiction and mental health challenges. Through her work with Mya’s Mission, Shani is helping create a future where those struggling with addiction and mental health issues have a better chance of receiving the care they need to rebuild their lives. She is passionate about breaking down the stigma surrounding substance use disorder, and works tirelessly to ensure that individuals and families know they are not alone in their journey to recovery. As a speaker, Shani draws from her personal and professional experiences to deliver powerful messages of hope, resilience, and the importance of proactive intervention in addressing the crisis of addiction. Her story, both heart-wrenching and inspiring, encourages communities to take action, providing education and compassion in the fight against addiction
