The longer we push off getting the identified client to help the child the help that they need, the longer it takes to bring them back to where they can function properly.
How do you help a community face the challenges of mental health and substance use when parental resistance stands in the way? In this episode of 'One Hour AT A Time', host Mary Woods sits down with Ruchama Clapman, the founder of MASK (Mothers and Fathers Aligned Saving Kids). Clapman shares her journey of founding MASK 19 years ago to address these very issues within the Brooklyn, NY Jewish community.
Through tireless efforts, MASK has become a beacon of hope, assisting over 16,000 families and spreading awareness through 24,000 community programs. Clapman discusses the critical importance of early intervention and how delaying treatment can have devastating effects on children, from harming their self-esteem to leading to substance abuse. She highlights the often-overlooked prevalence of substance use disorders within the Jewish community, debunking myths and emphasizing the need for open conversations about trauma and recovery.
The episode also provides practical advice on safe medication disposal and encourages families to be vigilant about what’s in their medicine cabinets. If you're looking for insights into breaking down resistance to mental health and substance use treatment, this episode offers a compassionate and practical guide.
