A Convergence of Voices: The Unveiling of Daniel J. Regan’s Healing Us at Kean University
A landmark literary presentation will bring together leaders from the health, faith, political, and business sectors in a shared commitment to address the addiction crisis.
- Newark, NJ (1888PressRelease) August 11, 2025 - On Wednesday, August 13, at 6:00 p.m., Kean University will host the official launch of Healing Us: A Memoir of Addiction, Descent, and Renewal by Daniel J. Regan, a deeply personal work that transcends autobiography to become a collective call for awareness, empathy, and action in the fight against addiction.
Written in collaboration with his mother, Lynn Regan, the memoir traces an unflinching journey from abandonment in a Palm Springs motel to the creation of nationally recognized recovery programs. With clarity, vulnerability, and precision, Regan’s account challenges entrenched perceptions of substance use and recovery, urging a societal shift toward compassion, evidence-based care, and sustained community engagement.
The launch event will gather an exceptional audience of distinguished figures representing multiple spheres of influence. Leaders from the health sector will join prominent faith-based voices, public officials, and business executives, underscoring the wide-ranging commitment needed to address one of the most pressing public health challenges of our time.
“This book is not simply my story,” Regan reflects. “It is a reflection of the struggles faced by countless individuals and families. It is an invitation to reimagine how we understand addiction and how we stand with those who are fighting to overcome it.”
The evening will feature the author’s remarks, a ceremonial presentation, and opportunities for dialogue among guests, creating a rare intersection of expertise, moral leadership, and civic responsibility.
