Building Bridges: Effective Communication with Loved Ones Battling Substance Use
“It's about helping the family members to say that, like we're not saying that family members are accountable for their loved one's addictions. It doesn't have to be this big submission of like like.”
When someone you care about is struggling with substance use, knowing how to communicate can feel like navigating a minefield. In this episode of 'Life with Alcohol and Drugs,' George Charlton from George Charlton Training & Consultancy Services sheds light on positive communication techniques that can make a world of difference. The episode dives into the seven elements of positive communication, part of the CRAFT (Community Reinforcement and Family Training) program, which offers evidence-based strategies for families and carers.
George's insights help break down complex communication barriers, making it easier to connect with loved ones in a meaningful way. The discussion isn't just theoretical; real-life examples illustrate how these techniques have helped families promote treatment and support recovery. Whether you're dealing with substance use in your family or seeking ways to offer better support, this episode provides practical advice and heartfelt stories that resonate deeply. Tune in for a conversation that could transform how you approach these tough conversations.
