Stigma: Changing the Story

Stigma: Changing the Story

Imagine being trapped in a story that paints you in the worst possible light. That's what stigma does to those struggling with addiction. In this episode of 'Coming Up for Air', sponsored by AlliesinRecovery.net, the hosts dive into the powerful impact of stigma and how it shapes perceptions and actions. They shed light on how these negative stories can strip individuals of their dignity and hinder their path to recovery. But it doesn't have to stay this way.

The episode champions the CRAFT (Community Reinforcement and Family Training) method, which offers a way to dismantle these harmful narratives and replace them with understanding and support. Through conscious effort and education, families can reclaim their power and help their loved ones move forward with hope. This episode is a must-listen for anyone looking to change the conversation around addiction and make a real difference.
