About
Carolyn is CEO of Pathroot Health, focused on transforming how families support loved ones in recovery from substance use and mental health challenges. Pathroot is a digital platform that offers education, community support, and resource access—starting from the moment treatment begins and continuing well beyond discharge. They're also integrating AI and wearable data to provide personalized insights, behavioral alerts, and early detection of relapse or overdose risk. This mission is deeply personal. Sarah lost her daughter, Laura, to an overdose at age 29, following a 15-year battle with addiction. With better tools and insight, our family might have made different decisions—and a real-time alert system might have saved her life. Her story lives on through Sarah's work and in her eBook, "Lessons from Laura: The Knock on the Door."
