Building Bridges: Moshe Frankel's Journey with At-Risk Teens
“I see camp often as a pre-rehab program rather than your post-rehab program. I mean the guys that we're getting camp are not necessarily ready for change.”
Ever wondered how a summer camp can transform the lives of at-risk teens? In this episode of 'BrainStorm with Sony Perlman', Sony sits down with Moshe Frankel, a seasoned expert with 20 years of experience in the field of addiction and youth support. Moshe, a Certified Alcohol and Substance Abuse Counselor (CASAC), shares his innovative approach to helping teens through programs like the Gavz Boyz traveling summer camp.
Rather than waiting for kids to hit rock bottom, Moshe believes in proactive intervention. He sees summer camp as a pre-rehab program that offers a sense of belonging and a natural environment to recognize and combat the dysfunction caused by addiction. Throughout their conversation, Sony and Moshe explore the ripple effects of addiction work, discuss alternative parenting methods, and dive into how counterculture influences addiction recovery.
Moshe also touches on his involvement in school-based awareness events and Narcan training sessions with the NYPD. If you're curious about how community support and unique initiatives can make a difference in the lives of young people, this episode is a must-listen. Tune in to hear how one man’s passion for snowboarding and the outdoors is making a world of difference.
