Curious about how young people can thrive in recovery? Ellen Stewart, the Pushy Broad from the Bronx, chats with Anne Herbst, Executive Director of Young People in Recovery (YPR), about this inspiring movement. Founded by young individuals who recognised the need for ongoing support post-treatment, YPR offers a vibrant community where young people can access life skills, education, employment resources, and more. Anne shares how YPR has grown to 54 chapters across 16 states, offering both in-person and online support.
Whether you're into hiking or ultimate frisbee, YPR's pro-social activities provide a healthy social outlet. They welcome everyone, from those in recovery to allies and the sober curious. Anne also highlights their inclusivity initiatives like the Idea Corps and Rainbow Recovery meetings for the LGBTQ+ community. The episode is a reminder that recovery is not just about abstaining from substances but embracing a fulfilling life.
So, why not explore what YPR has to offer and see how you can be part of this empowering community?
