When children with a family history of addiction are supported with knowledge, nurture, and coping skills, they are less likely to develop an addiction themselves.
Picture a place where children, burdened by a family history of addiction, find hope and a fresh start. In this heartwarming episode of 'Spirit of Recovery', hosts Rev. Dan Beckett and Rev. Michelle Vargas sit down with Brian Moss and Jeanette Altman to explore how Camp Mariposa offers these children a lifeline. Brian, the program manager for Camp Mariposa, and Jeanette, a family educator and supervisor at Jewish Family and Children’s Service, share inspiring stories of transformation.
Camp Mariposa isn't just a camp; it's a sanctuary where children learn essential coping skills, take healthy risks, and build a supportive community. Brian and Jeanette discuss how providing knowledge, nurture, and coping strategies can steer children away from the path of addiction and towards fulfilling lives. Through mindfulness exercises and programs like Signs of Suicide, the camp equips kids with tools to handle life's challenges.
The episode dives into the significance of ongoing support and community resources in maintaining these positive changes. Brian and Jeanette emphasize that with the right support, children can break free from the shadows of their family's addiction history. This episode is a beacon of hope for anyone looking to understand how early intervention can change lives. Tune in to hear about the powerful impact of Camp Mariposa and how it helps children rewrite their stories, transforming from hopelessness to possibility.
