All the research on resilience points at least to one thing that they have in common, and it's having the presence of caring, nurturing adults in your life, because I often think that kids don't care about how much we know until they know about how much we care.
How can we help children affected by addiction find their way to healing and happiness? In this heartwarming episode of 'Spirit of Recovery', hosts Rev. Dan Beckett and Rev. Michelle Vargas sit down with Jerry Moe, the vice president and national director of Children's Programs at the Betty Ford Center. With decades of experience, Jerry shares his passion for creating safe and nurturing environments where children can recover from the pain of growing up in families impacted by addiction.
He emphasizes the importance of fun, respect, and spiritual growth in these young lives. Jerry's innovative programs have been a beacon of hope for many children. From role-playing games that help kids separate the disease from the person to mutual self-help groups for teenagers, his methods are both practical and transformative. The discussion also touches on the steps of recovery, the vital role of caring adults, and the resilience that children can develop when given the right support.
Listeners will find this episode not just informative but deeply moving. Jerry's joyful advocacy for children shines through as he talks about higher power concepts and the 'god box', offering a spiritual dimension to recovery that can be incredibly powerful for young minds. Whether you're a parent, educator, or someone interested in child welfare, this episode offers valuable insights into helping children heal and thrive.
So, if you're looking for ways to support children affected by addiction, tune in to hear Jerry Moe's inspiring journey and learn about the innovative programs at the Betty Ford Center. It's a conversation filled with hope, encouragement, and practical advice that can make a real difference.
