Supporting Siblings: Expert Advice from Nicole Kosanke, Ph.D. and Krissy Pozatek

I think it all goes back to parental authority. So it's explaining that you're going through a step-by-step process, but that you are in control, if you will.
When one child in a family struggles with substance misuse, it's easy to overlook the impact on their siblings. In this eye-opening episode of 'Hopestream', host Brenda Zane brings in experts Nicole Kosanke, Ph.D., and Krissy Pozatek to shed light on this often-neglected issue. Kosanke, a director of family services, and Pozatek, an author and family dynamics specialist, delve into the emotional and psychological challenges faced by siblings of substance-using children.
They discuss practical strategies parents can use to support their other children, such as applying CRAFT skills, setting boundaries, and teaching healthy coping mechanisms. The episode emphasizes the importance of acknowledging siblings' feelings and maintaining open communication within the family. If you're a parent grappling with how to help your non-substance-using children navigate the chaos and trauma of their sibling's addiction, this episode offers compassionate guidance and actionable advice.
