Kim Bemis on Bridging the Gap in Teen Substance Abuse Prevention

We need to do something more for families and support, also online.
Imagine a world where parents and teenagers can tackle substance abuse before it even starts. In this episode of 'The Way Out', Charlie and Jason chat with Kim Bemis, a person in long-term recovery and the brain behind Gobi Support. This innovative online platform is the first of its kind, focusing on drug and alcohol prevention and early intervention for teens. Kim noticed a glaring gap in traditional treatment centers—they often step in only after addiction has taken hold.
Gobi Support aims to change that by reaching out to 13-17-year-olds who are just starting to experiment with substances. Kim’s journey through recovery fuels his passion for prevention, making his insights both relatable and inspiring. The platform offers interactive tools like surveys, chats, and videos to foster better communication between parents and their teens.
Kim also delves into the role of genetic predisposition and environment in substance abuse, sharing personal anecdotes that highlight the importance of letting go of control and building strong, supportive relationships. If you’re a parent worried about your teen or someone interested in proactive approaches to substance abuse, this episode is a must-listen. Tune in to learn how Gobi Support can help you and your family navigate these challenging waters.
