Being open and honest, especially if you're a parent in recovery, being open and honest about your own struggles, I think, is super important.
What if you could get the inside scoop on how to talk to your kids about drugs and alcohol? In this episode of 'Henry's Uncle', Lilli Kuechle, a Policy and Prevention Coordinator at Vibrant Future Coalition, shares her expertise on spreading drug and alcohol awareness among teenagers. She dives into the coalition's impactful work in schools, focusing on educating students about the dangers of substance abuse through a brain-based approach.
It's all about filling those knowledge gaps with solid scientific facts. But that's not all – Lilli also sheds light on Oregon's drug policies and how they're shaping the landscape of addiction prevention. She doesn't shy away from discussing the controversial topic of kratom and its potential dangers. Plus, she emphasizes the importance of after-school programs in curbing substance abuse rates.
For parents feeling lost on how to approach these tough conversations, Lilli offers practical advice to make those talks less daunting and more effective. She even introduces a Five Day advocacy boot camp for teens, encouraging them to take charge and advocate for change in their communities. The episode wraps up with a discussion on confidential phone lines available for youth seeking help, highlighting the importance of honesty and openness in recovery, especially for parents who are in recovery themselves.
This episode is a goldmine for anyone interested in addiction and recovery, offering valuable insights and actionable advice.
