The more I can help them navigate and think about how can we get this person's housing a little more solid while they're dealing with this issue and think about the transportation to get to that new job they might get and the challenges they might face there.
What does it take to build a supportive network for addiction recovery? In this episode of 'Get in the Herd', host Nathan Mitchell sits down with Stephen Wade, the Health Equity Project Manager for the Virginia Department of Social Services. Stephen is at the forefront of developing the SUD Ally Training Hub, a project designed to enhance understanding of substance use disorders (SUD), link families to essential resources, and foster community collaboration.
Stephen sheds light on the unique challenges faced by diverse communities, particularly people of color and non-English speakers, in accessing recovery support. He discusses the critical role that recovery community organizations play in bridging these gaps. The conversation also touches on harm reduction strategies, the housing crisis's impact on recovery, and the importance of generational solutions. If you're interested in how community engagement and collaboration can transform recovery efforts, this episode is a must-listen.
