Addiction is not that bad, it's not a moral issue, it's not shame.
Imagine navigating the choppy waters of addiction recovery, only to find that the lifeboat instructions are in a language you don't understand. In this eye-opening episode of 'Your Bright Recovery', host Caroline Beidler, MSW, sits down with Angelo Lagares, a passionate recovery advocate and founder of LARA, the first Latino advocacy nonprofit. Together, they unpack why language accessibility is a crucial piece of the recovery puzzle for Spanish speakers.
Angelo shares not just his professional insights but also his personal journey through recovery, making this episode both informative and deeply personal. You'll hear about the historical context behind language barriers in healthcare, the importance of cultural and linguistic appropriate services (CLAS), and how these elements can significantly reduce health disparities and stigma. Angelo emphasizes the power of community support, self-care, and finding a balance between work and recovery.
This episode is a must-listen for anyone interested in understanding how language can either be a barrier or a bridge in the journey to wellness. Tune in to learn how breaking down these barriers can make recovery more inclusive and effective for everyone.
