So how do we help these folks that don't know how to ask for help, they don't know they're sick? Right, because it's a willingness, right. You know what can you do Today, and so I had to break things down.
What happens when curiosity turns into a mission of compassion? Donna and David sit down with Art Castro, the creator behind the YouTube channel 'Lost in Phoenix', to find out. In this heartfelt episode of 'Recovery On-Air', Art opens up about his journey from simply being curious about homelessness and addiction to founding his own 501(c)(3) organization aimed at reuniting families with their lost loved ones.
Art's story is a testament to the power of empathy and action in the face of overwhelming social issues. He dives deep into the harsh realities of addiction and mental health struggles on the streets, shedding light on the devastating impact of fentanyl pills on younger generations.
But it's not just about the statistics; Art brings a human touch to these grim topics by emphasizing the importance of understanding trauma's role in addiction and the critical need for mental health support. Throughout the conversation, Art shares his personal reflections on the emotional toll of helping those who often resist treatment and underscores the necessity of self-care for those in the recovery community.
His message is clear: compassion and understanding can make a world of difference, but you must also take care of yourself to be effective in helping others. This episode is a blend of eye-opening insights and motivational advice, making it a must-listen for anyone touched by addiction or interested in social justice. Tune in to hear Art Castro's inspiring journey and learn how you can contribute to making a difference, one day at a time.
