You can’t help somebody who doesn’t want to be helped, they must take the first step. Addiction is a structural problem, family is a structural solution. People don’t want to talk about mental health (including addiction).
Have you ever felt the weight of addiction in your family and wondered how to navigate it? In this episode, Jeff Jones sits down with Stewart Michaelson, a passionate recovery advocate, to tackle these tough questions. Stewart dives into his personal journey, sharing how he became involved in the addiction and recovery community. He doesn't just stop at his story; he provides valuable insights into how families can both help and hinder the recovery process.
One of the standout points Stewart makes is that while addiction is a structural problem, family can be a structural solution. But it's not just about family support—it's about creating safe environments where people feel understood and accepted. Stewart also highlights the often-overlooked aspect of mental health as a public policy issue, stressing that open conversations about mental health are crucial. If you've ever felt like giving up, Stewart's message is clear: Don't.
Recovery is a long-term journey, but there's always hope. Tune in to hear more about how you can support your loved ones and find hope in the journey.
