00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:09.175
>> THE INDIANA STATE MUSEUM SAYS
IT'S DOING SOMETHING IT USUALLY
DOESN'T OPENING AN EXHIBIT THAT
TACKLES A TOUGH TOPIC. BUSINESS

2
00:00:09.175 --> 00:00:16.516
OF HEALTH REPORTER KYLIE VELETA
HAS MORE.
THANK YOU, GERRY.
THIS WEEKEND, THE INDIANA STATE

3
00:00:16.516 --> 00:00:20.687
MUSEUM IS OPENING A YEAR-LONG
EXHIBIT CALLED "FIX: HEARTBREAK
AND HOPE INSIDE OUR OPIOID
CRISIS." IT AIMS TO HELP

4
00:00:20.687 --> 00:00:25.859
HOOSIERS VIEW THE OPIOID CRISIS
THROUGH A NEW LENS BUILDING
EMPATHY AND REDUCING THE STIGMA
THAT SURROUNDS OPIOID USE

5
00:00:25.859 --> 00:00:33.566
DISORDER.
CATHY FERREE IS PRESIDENT AND
CEO OF THE INDIANA STATE MUSEUM
AND HISTORIC SITES. SHE JOINS ME

6
00:00:33.566 --> 00:00:41.608
NOW TO TELL US MORE ABOUT THE
NEW EXHIBIT.
THANK YOU FOR BEING HERE TODAY.
>> THANK YOU, KYLEE, FOR HAVING

7
00:00:41.608 --> 00:00:47.280
US.
>> ABSOLUTELY. WE TALKED ABOUT,
THIS IS A DARKER TOPIC THAN WHAT
THE MUSEUM TYPICALLY FOCUSES ON.

8
00:00:47.280 --> 00:00:52.919
WHY IS A MUSEUM A GOOD PLACE TO
HAVE THIS CONVERSATION VERSUS
OTHER PLACES?
>> WHAT WE WANT TO DO, AND

9
00:00:52.919 --> 00:00:59.759
INTERESTING THAT YOU WOULD SAY
THAT IT'S A DARKER TOPIC, THAT'S
ACTUALLY WHAT WE'RE TRYING TO
WORK AGAINST. SO MUSEUMS,

10
00:00:59.759 --> 00:01:06.132
ACCORDING TO THE AMERICAN MUSEUM
ASSOCIATION, ARE THE MOST
TRUSTED INSTITUTIONS IN THE
COUNTRY. SO WE KNOW THAT PEOPLE

11
00:01:06.132 --> 00:01:13.106
COME TO MUSEUMS CURIOUS AND
INTERESTED, ASKING QUESTIONS,
AND THIS IS A TOPIC THAT IS
NORMALLY VERY ISOLATING. SO WE

12
00:01:13.106 --> 00:01:19.679
WANT TO HAVE A PLACE WHERE
PEOPLE CAN COME AND ASK
QUESTIONS, AND BE CURIOUS, AND
GET ANSWERS WITHOUT BEING JUDGED

13
00:01:19.679 --> 00:01:27.420
AND FEEL LIKE IT'S A SAFE
ENVIRONMENT.
>> SPEAKING OF THAT, A SIGMA
SURROUNDS OPIOID USE DISORDER.

14
00:01:27.420 --> 00:01:34.794
PEOPLE, TO BE VERY FRANK,
SOMETIMES THINK PEOPLE WHO ARE
ADDICTED ARE WEAK, OR HAVE SOME
OTHER CHARACTER FLAW. YOU GUYS

15
00:01:34.794 --> 00:01:41.234
ARE FOCUSING ON BREAKING THAT
PERCEPTION.
>> AND BREAKING THE SIGMA OF
HAVING IT AT THE MUSEUM SO YOU

16
00:01:41.234 --> 00:01:47.907
CAN ASK QUESTIONS WITHOUT ANYONE
QUESTIONING YOU, AND REALLY
FOCUS ON THE SCIENCE AND THE
IMPACT, AND WE HAD 16 VERY BRAVE

17
00:01:47.907 --> 00:01:53.112
HOOSIERS COME FORWARD AND TELL
THEIR STORIES. SO YOU CAN SEE
PEOPLE JUST LIKE YOURSELF WHO
HAVE BEEN THROUGH THIS AND

18
00:01:53.112 --> 00:01:59.419
UNDERSTAND IT, OR YOU CAN LOOK
INTO THE SCIENCE TO UNDERSTAND
IT, OR THE DATA, DEPENDING ON
WHAT YOU'RE REALLY INTERESTED

19
00:01:59.419 --> 00:02:05.959
IN, WE CAN BRING YOU INTO A
TOPIC THAT YOU MIGHT NOT KNOW A
LOT ABOUT, AND THEN MOVE YOU
THROUGH THE LARGER STORY.

20
00:02:05.959 --> 00:02:13.633
>> AND THE DATA AND SCIENCE IS
SHOWING IT'S A DISEASE.
>> IT'S A DISEASE, ABSOLUTELY. A
BRAIN DISEASE

21
00:02:13.633 --> 00:02:19.906
>> THIS EXHIBIT ALSO FOCUSES ON
THE POSITIVE SIDE, IT TALKS A
LOT ABOUT HOPE AND RECOVERY.
TELL US ABOUT THE POSITIVE

22
00:02:19.906 --> 00:02:25.712
MESSAGES THAT YOU WANT PEOPLE TO
TAKE AWAY.
>> IT'S INTERESTING. WE ARE
REALLY LOOKING AT, BY BREAKING

23
00:02:25.712 --> 00:02:32.986
THAT STIGMA, THAT ALLOWS PEOPLE
TO HAVE HOPE. BECAUSE YOU'RE NO
LONGER ISOLATED, OR SHAPED BY
IT, BUT YOU BETTER UNDERSTAND

24
00:02:32.986 --> 00:02:40.527
IT. AND WITH A LACK OF
INFORMATION, PEOPLE JUST MAKE UP
THINGS. SO THEY -- WHAT THEY
READ IN A BOOK, OR SAW ON TV,

25
00:02:40.527 --> 00:02:46.499
MOST OF THOSE THINGS ARE
FICTION. WE'RE HOPING PEOPLE
WILL WALK OUT WITH A BETTER,
DEEPER UNDERSTANDING OF WHAT

26
00:02:46.499 --> 00:02:53.273
OPIOID USE DISORDER LOOKS LIKE
AND HOW THEY MIGHT BE ABLE TO
MAKE A DIFFERENCE. WE'RE HOPING
THAT PEOPLE WILL CHANGE THEIR

27
00:02:53.273 --> 00:03:01.414
LANGUAGE BEHIND IT, INSTEAD OF
SAYING ADDICTS, IT'S PEOPLE WITH
OPIOID USE DISORDER, AND REALLY
THINK ABOUT IS THERE SOMEONE

28
00:03:01.414 --> 00:03:10.189
THEY SHOULD PROBABLY REACH OUT
TO TO SORT OF HELP THEM BREAK
DOWN THAT ISOLATION, AND LASTLY,
BE TRAINED ON NAR CON. SO ANYONE

29
00:03:10.189 --> 00:03:17.297
CAN ADMINISTRATOR THAT, IT IS AN
ANECDOTE, IT DOESN'T DO ANYONE
HARM, BUT IT HAS SAVED MANY
LIVES. WE ARE HOPING TO GIVE YOU

30
00:03:17.297 --> 00:03:23.036
TOOLS NOT ONLY TO BETTER
UNDERSTAND, BUT TO WALK AWAY
WITH SOME THINGS THAT ARE
ACTIONABLE SO YOU, TOO, CAN MAKE

31
00:03:23.036 --> 00:03:28.775
A DIFFERENCE IN THIS CRISIS.
>> OBVIOUSLY THIS EXHIBIT IS IN
INDIANAPOLIS. TALK ABOUT HOW
YOU'RE EXPANDING THIS

32
00:03:28.775 --> 00:03:34.047
CONVERSATION STATE-WIDE.
>> ONE OF THE REASONS WE FELT WE
WERE APPROPRIATE FOR THIS IS
BECAUSE WE ARE A STATE-WIDE

33
00:03:34.047 --> 00:03:42.789
ENTITY, WE HAVE 12 LOCATIONS,
NORTH AS RUM CITY AND SOUTH AS
NEW HARMONY. OUR SITES ALSO
SERVE AS SAFE ENVIRONMENTS FOR

34
00:03:42.789 --> 00:03:50.930
PEOPLE TO HAVE CONVERSATIONS. IT
HAS HIT THE RURAL AND THE URBAN.
DID HAS NOT DECIDED, YOU'RE NOT
INVOLVED, OR YOU ARE, EVERYONE

35
00:03:50.930 --> 00:03:59.339
IS INVOLVED AT SOME LEVEL. SO
WHAT WE CAN DO AT THOSE SITES IS
HAVE COURAGEOUS CONVERSATIONS
AND BRING IN THE PEOPLE IN THAT

36
00:03:59.339 --> 00:04:05.278
COMMUNITY TOGETHER IN A SAFE
ENVIRONMENT TO HAVE THIS
CONVERSATION. WE CAN BRING
COMMUNITY PARTNERSHIPS TOGETHER,

37
00:04:05.278 --> 00:04:13.620
NAR CON TRAINING, SO WE REALLY
WORKING WITH EACH INDIVIDUAL
COMMUNITY ON WHAT IT IS WE CAN
DO TO HELP THEM HAVE A BETTER

38
00:04:13.620 --> 00:04:18.424
CONVERSATION, OR DIFFERENT
CONVERSATION ABOUT OPIOID USE
DISORDER THAN THEY'VE BEEN ABLE
TO HAVE BEFORE.

39
00:04:18.424 --> 00:04:19.425
>> DEFINITELY A NEW TOPIC FOR
