In a place of higher education, it's a wonderful opportunity to create these, to take these people who have been marginalized in the past, to bring them in and turn them into agents of change and then to send them back out, to then help change the reality for other people in their lives, and giving them opportunity as well.
Imagine a world where every student, regardless of their background, feels supported in their recovery journey. In this episode of the Higher Education Center's podcast, Ahmed Hosni sits down with Keith Murphy from Rutgers University to discuss just that. Murphy, a seasoned recovery counselor, brings a wealth of experience and a fresh perspective on the challenges faced by marginalized groups in collegiate recovery communities.
The conversation is a deep dive into the importance of creating culturally competent support services that cater to the unique needs of diverse student populations. Murphy passionately argues that higher education institutions have a golden opportunity to transform marginalized individuals into powerful agents of change. He shares personal anecdotes and practical strategies for building inclusive recovery communities that empower students to advocate for themselves and others.
The episode doesn't shy away from tough topics like the impact of social identity on recovery and the delicate balance between secular and non-secular support services. Hosni and Murphy emphasize the need for ongoing education and training in cultural competency for those working in addiction and recovery fields. This episode is a treasure trove of actionable insights and heartwarming stories, making it a must-listen for anyone involved in collegiate recovery or interested in fostering inclusivity.
