Dr.
Finch shares his groundbreaking research on the effectiveness of recovery schools and discusses why these institutions are uniquely positioned to change students' lives for the better. These schools offer more than just academic education; they provide a safe space where students in recovery can connect with peers who understand their struggles and triumphs. With access to counseling, mentorship, and academic support, students are given the tools they need to succeed both in their studies and in their recovery journey. Dr.
Finch also delves into the challenges of starting a recovery school and the critical role of public funding in sustaining these life-changing institutions. He highlights the mission of the Association of Recovery Schools, which he co-founded, in bringing together research and best practices to support these schools. This episode offers an inspiring look at how recovery schools are not just helping students stay sober but are also setting them up for a brighter future.
