Family First: How the CMC Foundation for Change is Revolutionizing Addiction Support
We're hoping that through the foundation, we can do trainings for a variety of different types of communities, whether it's religious communities, clergy, who want to bring in this kind of thinking into there, because not everybody wants to see a therapist and not everybody's going to walk across the door of a treatment program.
Imagine having the tools to help a loved one struggling with substance use, without feeling helpless or overwhelmed. In this episode of 'The Beyond Addiction Show', Dr. Josh King sits down with Drs. Jeff Foote and Carrie Wilkens to discuss their non-profit, the CMC Foundation for Change. This organization is making waves by empowering families with evidence-based strategies to support their loved ones through addiction recovery. Dr. Foote and Dr.
Wilkens delve into their innovative 'Invitation to Change' approach, which moves away from confrontational methods and instead focuses on understanding and compassion. They believe that family support is a cornerstone of successful recovery, and their training programs are designed to equip parents, community leaders, and professionals with practical tools. Throughout the episode, you'll hear touching stories of families who have benefited from the CMC Foundation's work.
These real-life examples illustrate the transformative power of shifting from moral judgment to empathy and understanding. By providing resources directly to those affected, the foundation is not only changing lives but also reshaping how society views substance use disorders. Whether you're a parent, a friend, or a community leader, this episode offers valuable insights into how you can make a meaningful difference.
Tune in to learn more about the foundation's mission, the impact of their work, and how you can get involved through training sessions or donations. This conversation is a must-listen for anyone looking to better understand addiction and find effective ways to support those they care about.
