It's so important because now we get to highlight those programs and the opportunity house has been around for so long in the community and a lot of people might've heard about the opportunity house, but maybe they don't understand what the real mission for the opportunity house is, or for the house of acts, right.
Imagine balancing a career in radio with the demands of social work. That's exactly what John Young, LCSW, and KUIC radio personality in Vacaville, does every day. In this episode of 'The Drunken Worm Podcast', John shares his unique journey of blending entertainment and social work to foster a healthier community in Solano County. With over twenty years of experience, John has found a way to keep his social work skills sharp while captivating audiences on the airwaves.
He discusses the importance of creative solutions in social work, especially for those who need more than just a list of resources. One of John's key messages is the power of community involvement in building healthier lives. He opens up about his own struggles with addiction and recovery, offering a heartfelt perspective on how these experiences shape his approach to both social work and radio.
John also highlights local programs like Opportunity House, which play a crucial role in supporting the community but are often overlooked. The episode doesn't shy away from tough topics like relapse, emphasizing its role in the recovery journey and the importance of life skills and pro-social activities in maintaining sobriety. Through KUIC radio, John has a unique platform to serve Solano County in ways other stations might not.
His story is not just inspiring but also a call to action for listeners to get involved in their communities. Tune in to hear how John merges his passions to make a real difference.
