We live in a society of where we're differentiate, unnecessary differentiation, that means nothing... And so what happens when you walk in other people's shoes through empathy?
Imagine a world where empathy and grace are the cornerstones of addiction recovery. In this heartwarming episode of 'Hopestream', Brenda Zane sits down with Dr. Joseph Lee, the Medical Director for Hazelden Betty Ford's Youth Continuum, to explore this very vision.

He shares his deep-seated passion for helping young adults and their families navigate the turbulent waters of addiction. The conversation veers away from clinical jargon, focusing instead on the human element that Dr. Lee believes is crucial in recovery. You'll hear about his unique perspective on virtual care, which has gained prominence during COVID-19, and why he sometimes prefers it over traditional in-person models. Dr.
