We might be able to save their lives while we're waiting for the emts. So the one thing about it is it only works on opioids.
How does a mother turn her family's struggles with addiction into a beacon of hope for others? In this episode of 'Courage to Hope', host Tony Lagreca sits down with Joanne Peterson, the founder of Learn to Cope, a support network for families grappling with substance abuse. Joanne opens up about her personal journey through the dark corridors of addiction, shedding light on the opioid crisis and Purdue Pharma's role in it.
She also emphasizes the life-saving importance of Narcan during opioid overdoses and dispels common myths about tackling drug dealers as a solution to substance abuse. This conversation goes beyond personal anecdotes, diving into the broader impact of media on public perception and the crucial role of Section 35 as a last-resort treatment option.
Joanne also touches on how holidays can amplify the struggles of families dealing with addiction and how Learn to Cope offers vital support and resources during these challenging times. If you're looking for an episode that combines heartfelt personal stories with practical insights, this one is not to be missed.
