Project Recovery: Healing Trauma After Natural Disasters

While we rebuild physically, it's important not to neglect our mental health.
What happens when natural disasters and addiction recovery collide? In this episode of Crosstalk, Matt and his team at Turning Point Recovery Community Center tackle the complex relationship between trauma and recovery. They dive into Project Recovery, a program designed to help those affected by substance use disorders, especially in the wake of devastating events like the recent tornadoes in Kentucky. The team shares their firsthand experiences and insights, emphasizing that rebuilding mentally is just as crucial as physical recovery.
Anxiety, fear, and other symptoms of trauma are common but often overlooked aspects of disaster recovery. With a laid-back yet deeply empathetic approach, Matt and his colleagues offer peer support, drawing from their own journeys through addiction and recovery. This episode is a must-listen for anyone grappling with the aftermath of a natural disaster while on the road to sobriety.
You'll find a blend of personal stories and practical advice that highlight the importance of addressing mental health alongside physical rebuilding.
