We have to face these kind of accusations and criticisms, but isn't it interesting that it's okay for any other organization- churches, the American heart foundation, American Cancer Foundation, whoever it may be that puts personalities out there, that promotes their cause? That's okay. But when it comes to recovery, when it comes to mental illness- and we have people who do that- it's pegged as being egotistical.
Ever felt like your voice doesn’t matter in the grand scheme of things? Mike Todd is here to tell you otherwise. In this episode of 'The #RecoveryFirst Podcast', he dives into the importance of speaking up for mental health and recovery. Whether you're a seasoned advocate or just starting out, Todd emphasizes that every voice counts, no matter how big or small your platform might be.
He challenges the double standards that exist in advocacy, questioning why it's acceptable for some organizations to use prominent figures while those in recovery often face criticism for doing the same. Todd passionately argues that by coming together and supporting each other, we can break down the stigma surrounding mental health and addiction. He encourages everyone, especially those in long-term recovery, to use their talents and platforms to advocate for change.
Hosting a podcast, pushing for legislative reforms, or simply promoting recovery initiatives – every effort makes a difference. Todd's message is clear: it's time to stand up, speak out, and make a lasting impact. If you've ever wondered how you can contribute to the recovery community or support those struggling with addiction and mental illness, this episode offers both inspiration and practical advice.
Tune in to hear Todd's compelling call to action and learn how you can be part of the movement to create a more supportive and understanding world.
