This is a cultural crisis and how a lot of us are responding to reality is finding an addiction that could be unpacked in its own way.
When the opioid crisis leaves children without their parents, who steps in? Often, it's grandparents who take on the unexpected role of caregivers. In this heartfelt episode of AllBetter, host Joe Van Wie sits down with State Rep. Eddie 'Day' Pashinski to explore this growing phenomenon and the legislative efforts aimed at supporting these unsung heroes.
Pashinski, a seasoned legislator and former music teacher, brings his wealth of experience to the table, discussing his advocacy for property tax relief, healthcare access, and education funding. But it's his passion for the Grandparents Raising Grandchildren caucus that truly shines through. He shares touching stories and real-life examples of grandparents stepping up in times of crisis, emphasizing the need for empathy and community support.
The conversation dives deep into the cultural crisis of addiction, with Pashinski highlighting the importance of understanding and addressing the root causes. He also talks about the critical role of local resources and grants in providing much-needed training and education on addiction and recovery. This episode isn't just about policies and legislation; it's about human connection and the power of kinship.
Whether you're a grandparent raising a grandchild, someone affected by addiction, or simply interested in social issues, this episode offers valuable insights and a call to action to support those in need.
