MADMOMS Speak
Sharing Stories. Inspiring Hope.
At MADMOMS, we believe that every story has the power to change a life. Through heartfelt presentations, community conversations, and lived experiences, we bring messages of hope, healing, resilience, and recovery to organizations, schools, faith communities, healthcare providers, conferences, and community events.
Whether sharing Janice’s personal journey or amplifying the voices of families, fathers, individuals in recovery, and community leaders, every presentation is designed to educate, reduce stigma, inspire meaningful dialogue, and remind others that healing is possible.
We don’t simply tell stories, we create spaces where people feel seen, heard, and empowered to write the next chapter of their own lives.

You Can Save a Life
Janice V. Johnson Founder & Executive Director, MADMOMS
When The City of Boston Recovery Services and Health Resources in Action reached out to Janice to participate in this very important project she was reluctant, but wanted to give voice to the importance of never giving up on a loved one with a substance use disorder and to let her son Ja’Maar know she loves him and is always there for him. In a tragic turn of events he was killed before the release of this video. Always In Our Hearts 9/11/23
Community Naloxone Program
MADMOMS is proud to announce we are now a Community Naloxone Program (CNP)
The CNP allows many eligible programs to obtain Narcan™ brand naloxone through the State Office of Pharmacy (SOPS)
The goal of the CNP is to prevent death from opioid overdose by increasing distribution of free naloxone to community bystanders across Massachusetts. Organizations that qualify for CNP can order Narcan™-brand naloxone at a partial or full subsidy directly from the State Office of Pharmacy Services (SOPS), depending on preference. This program allows for participating organizations to benefit from the state negotiated public interest pricing for naloxone. As of recent FDA approval, Narcan™ is now available as an Over the Counter (OTC) drug, therefore no further medication registrations are needed to order naloxone through CNP.
All affiliate programs are expected to provide counseling on overdose prevention and training on overdose response to all persons who receive CNP-obtained naloxone. CNP-obtained naloxone is not to be billed to a patient’s insurance or resold. For first responders such as EMS, CNP-obtained naloxone is not to supplant the naloxone supply available for patient administration on overdose calls for service.
