Helena Washington: Embracing Diversity and Healing in Recovery

People don't know how brave they are and how far they could spread their wings if sometimes they don't have a push or having someone believe in them and pulling their family or what their support system means to them to the table to also see those things in them.
Ever wondered how cultural traditions can shape mental health and recovery? In this engaging episode of Positive Recovery MD, Dr. Jason Powers and Julie DeNofa sit down with Helena Washington, a seasoned addiction specialist with over 25 years of experience. Helena brings a wealth of knowledge from her diverse background, blending her Liberian-American heritage with her extensive clinical expertise. She passionately discusses the vital role of cultural diversity in mental wellness and recovery.
Helena's journey is a testament to the power of holistic and collaborative approaches in treating mental health issues and substance use disorders. She shares personal stories of overcoming pain and resentment, offering practical advice on finding peace in both personal and professional life. Listeners will gain valuable insights into the importance of family support and the need to honor cultural traditions in the healing process.
This episode is a must-listen for anyone interested in understanding the nuanced interplay between culture and mental health, and how embracing diversity can lead to more effective recovery strategies.
