Tara's Journey: Reclaiming Health and Challenging the System

I was able to play online games and through online games you can meet people and, funnily enough, that's how I was able to meet people that enabled me to leave him, because they were able to support me when I left.
What happens when you refuse to let your past define your future? In this compelling episode of 'Straight From the Source', Tara opens up about her battle with childhood trauma and her fight to reshape her health. She dives deep into how societal factors like gender and class influenced her substance use and the hurdles she faced within the court system as a crime victim.
Tara doesn’t hold back as she critiques the flaws in the alcohol and other drug (AOD) treatment system and shares why getting a second opinion and doing your own research is crucial. Her story is not just a tale of personal struggle but a call to action for a more integrated and empathetic approach to treatment. Whether you're dealing with addiction, supporting someone who is, or just looking for a story of resilience, Tara’s journey offers valuable insights and hope.
Tune in to hear how she turned her challenges into a mission for change.
