Asking for help is a sign of strength, a recognition that a team is better than any one individual to solve a problem and that you can push past your reservations for the help you need.
Picture this: your teenager is struggling with substance misuse, and you're feeling overwhelmed and unsure where to turn. In this episode of the 'InterAct LifeLine Audio Journal', Carolyn Bradfield offers a lifeline for parents navigating these turbulent waters. Drawing from her own experiences, Carolyn emphasizes that asking for help isn't a sign of weakness but a crucial step in safeguarding your child's future.
She shares practical advice on early intervention and highlights the importance of assembling a supportive team, much like a football coach relies on assistant coaches. From teachers to therapists, neighbors to friends, there are many 'assistants' ready to help you call the right plays. Carolyn also tackles the stigma often associated with seeking help, urging parents to push past their fears and take proactive steps.
With a focus on timely intervention and leveraging technology, this episode is packed with actionable insights to help you steer your family through the opioid crisis. Tune in and discover how to build a winning strategy for your child's recovery.
