Andrew J. Pace on Empowering Young Men at Little Creek Lodge
It just makes for a great working environment. You know, the guys that come in to Little Creek see graduates working there. So it's working, and so they go from being participants and then they get out in the community and they come back as mentors, and I've heard a lot of people talk about that, that that's probably maybe one of the biggest components of continuing your recovery is to fill up your own truck and then give it away.
What does it take to help young men reclaim their lives from addiction and mental health struggles? In this engaging episode of 'One Hour AT A Time', host Mary Woods chats with Andrew J. Pace, the managing director of Little Creek Lodge. This Pennsylvania-based facility is renowned for its innovative approach to long-term treatment for young men.
Andrew shares his experiences and insights into the unique challenges these young men face, such as denial, controlled use, and the fear of success. He also delves into the transformative power of music therapy, a cornerstone of Little Creek Lodge's program. The episode highlights a special project titled 'Resuscitation', a CD created by the residents themselves, showcasing their journey and growth through music.
