Tweetable Quotes:

“Back in 2017, I started a company called Sterling Recovery Services. We’re headquartered in Greenwich, Connecticut. We help families all over the world, mostly in the U.S. and London. We do everything from interventions to intensive case management to advisory and consultative services.” (07:54) (Trevor)

“You know, I’ve been very blessed to have a nice career, and I’m on the board of the NCADD of Westchester. I try to join nonprofit boards where I can and help less fortunate people. When I got into this field, I wanted to help anybody, whether it was inner city kids or whoever it might be.” (11:05) (Trevor)

“[In our interventions] There’s no shaming. There’s no blaming. There’s nothing punitive. It’s all protecting them from themselves and trying to reach their hearts to get them to understand the ripple effect.” (16:47) (Trevor)

“My ability, I think, to connect with people and have empathy and compassion is a direct byproduct of things I’ve been through.” (20:32) (Trevor)
