It's such an untapped, I think, area, like you said, which is an amazing, amazing reason why you wrote the book and things that you touched on before we get to teresa's side of the story is the Boston bulldogs running company. So it's really just a very welcoming community.
Can children's books play a role in addiction recovery? Catherine Collins and Lisa Blanchard think so, and they bring two incredible authors to the table to prove it. In this episode of 'Airing Addiction', they chat with Sarah Cloud and Theresa Harmon, who have both written children's books aimed at helping families touched by addiction. Sarah Cloud’s 'Mama Paca' addresses the heartache of kids who have lost parents to addiction, offering comfort and understanding through its pages.
Theresa Harmon, founder of 'To the Moon and Back', a non-profit supporting children born with in utero substance exposure, shares her book 'Sam the Superhero and His Super Life', which shines a light on these children's unique challenges. The conversation dives into why age-appropriate language is crucial when talking to kids about such tough topics. They also highlight the need for more research on neonatal abstinence syndrome and discuss how self-publishing can help fill gaps in available resources.
But it's not just about books; it's about building a community that supports recovery at every level. Sarah and Theresa's stories are a testament to the power of storytelling and community support in the journey to recovery. If you're looking for new ways to support your family or understand the impact of addiction on young lives, this episode is a must-listen.
