For me, boundaries are love and they really helped create a more loving relationship with my daughter.
Imagine having a toolkit to help your child navigate addiction, one that meets them where they are and prioritizes their well-being. In this episode of 'Living With Your Child's Addiction', host Heather Ross welcomes Lara Okoloko, a licensed independent clinical social worker, to discuss harm reduction—a compassionate approach to dealing with drug use. They explore practical strategies designed to minimize the negative impacts of drug use while promoting safer practices, managed use, and even abstinence when possible.
The episode dives into the eight principles of harm reduction, offering real-life examples and advice for family members. Lara shares how these strategies can help reduce stigma and improve quality of life, even if complete abstinence isn't immediately achievable. Heather and Lara also touch on the importance of setting boundaries and being an advocate for your child's health.
This conversation is packed with insights and tools that can transform how families handle addiction, making it a must-listen for anyone looking to support their loved ones through this challenging journey.
