Breaking the Silence: Talking to Kids About Addiction

Kids these days- and I say that all the time- are far more sophisticated than they were, I feel like, when I was growing up.
How do you approach the tough topic of addiction with kids? In this episode of Odyssey House Journals, host Randall Carlisle and his team tackle this crucial question. With substance abuse issues becoming increasingly complex, it's more important than ever to have open conversations with children about addiction and recovery. Experts featured in this episode stress the need for age-appropriate discussions that don't shy away from the truth. They argue that avoiding these conversations can do more harm than good.
The episode also highlights the role of parents and community members in providing the necessary support and resources. By engaging in honest dialogue, we can equip the younger generation with better coping skills and a deeper understanding of addiction. If you're a parent, teacher, or anyone involved in a child's life, this episode offers valuable insights into starting these essential conversations.
