Don't let anybody tell you there's nothing you can do. There's plenty that you can do, and I think for them to believe that this is a treatable disease, you know that they can't do it for the person, but they can get out of the way, and that's what they can learn to do.

In this episode of 'Journeys of Hope', Dr. Brian Moore, a seasoned psychologist and interventionist, offers practical advice on navigating these tough conversations.
