Having the conversations with the goal of understanding, and if you approach a loved one in a way that is not so kind or so loving, it's okay. It's alright to just start the conversation again and to keep that pathway open, because the healing is really in the relationships.
Imagine finding a lifeline in the midst of addiction recovery through the simple act of connecting with someone who truly understands your struggle. That's what this episode of 'Healthy Mind Matters' is all about. Hosted by Maria Shilaos, the show dives into the transformative impact of peer support programs at the Davis Behavioral Health Receiving Center.
Maria chats with Nichole Cunha, the Adult Mental Health Director, and Kristi Brown, the Recovery Support Program Supervisor, to shed light on how these programs are changing lives. Nichole and Kristi make it clear: addiction isn't a moral failing but a disease that affects not just the individual but their entire community. They stress the need for compassion and understanding when discussing addiction, free from stigma and judgment.
The Davis Behavioral Health Receiving Center offers a unique approach to recovery by providing a safe space where individuals can connect with peers who share similar experiences. This sense of community and mutual understanding can be a game-changer in the recovery journey. The episode also highlights the importance of resources and support for both those struggling with addiction and their families.
Nichole encourages listeners to stay connected and reach out for help, emphasizing that 'the healing is really in the relationships'. If you're curious about how peer support can make a difference in addiction recovery, this episode offers valuable insights and practical advice.
