Build the trust, which is interesting because it's the opposite of what all of us are trained to do, which is to move in quickly, take care of things, fix things.
How do you support a family member struggling with addiction while also safeguarding the well-being of children? In this episode of 'Coming Up for Air', hosts dive into these tough questions. Dominique Simone-Levine leads the discussion, focusing on a family dealing with alcohol use and mental health issues. She sheds light on when to step in, the risks of involving authorities, and how the CRAFT approach can be a lifeline.
This episode covers a range of pressing topics, from verbal and physical abuse to the challenges of accessing mental health resources amid long waiting lists and COVID-19 disruptions. The conversation doesn't shy away from the delicate balance of helping an intimate partner while ensuring children's safety. Trust-building is emphasized as a cornerstone, contrasting with the instinctual reactions many people have in these situations.
The hosts provide a roadmap for creating a comprehensive list of resources, aiming to offer not just information but also a sense of hope and compassion. If you're navigating the turbulent waters of addiction within your family, this episode offers valuable insights and practical advice.
