I think we have to look at it in a family-centric way. We can't just separate them from their families. So I think we have to be really careful, as there's all this attention and excitement and new program development, that we do it in a way that creates, fills gaps and really adds value to whatever already exists.
Imagine facing the opioid crisis head-on, but through the eyes of a child. In this gripping episode of the Cover2 Resources podcast, Greg McNeil sits down with Dr. Sarah Friebert, the Director of Pediatric Palliative Care at Akron Children's Hospital. Dr. Friebert sheds light on the unique challenges of addressing opioid addiction in children and adolescents. Her compassionate approach emphasizes the importance of family involvement and community support in treatment plans.
She also tackles the misconceptions that often prevent young patients from receiving the care they need, advocating for better pain management strategies that don't rely solely on opioids. Through her work at Akron Children's Hospital, Dr. Friebert and her team are making strides in providing holistic, family-level treatment and support for young opioid addicts. This episode offers a heartfelt look into the complexities of youth opioid addiction and the innovative solutions being implemented to combat it.
Tune in to gain a deeper understanding of these critical issues and discover how community-based care can offer hope for a brighter future.
