I researched a lot of the agencies beforehand when I started my job role, because I knew there'll be barriers from where I've worked previously.
Kris’s journey is a powerful testament to the resilience of the human spirit. In this episode of 'Catch Me When I Fall', Kris opens up about his struggle with addiction, which began with misusing his partner’s prescribed medication. His candid recounting of the lengths he went to maintain his addiction paints a vivid picture of the dark places addiction can take you. But Kris’s story doesn’t end there.
With the help of Inspire, a local organization dedicated to supporting those dealing with addiction and mental health issues, Kris found the lifeline he desperately needed. A worker from Inspire shares how their IPS (Individual Placement and Support) scheme played a pivotal role in Kris’s recovery by helping him secure employment. This job became more than just a paycheck; it was a cornerstone in rebuilding his life.
The episode delves into the significant hurdles that people in recovery face when trying to find and keep meaningful employment. Kris’s experience underscores the importance of having ongoing support and the positive impact that employment can have on someone’s recovery journey. For anyone touched by addiction or mental health challenges, Kris’s story offers a beacon of hope and a reminder that recovery is possible with the right support.
